What Does It Mean To Earn Your Industry Certification As A Medical Scribe and Administrative Professional?
A medical scribe fulfills the primary clerical and non-medical functions of a busy physician or nurse practitioner. The primary function of a medical scribe professional is to create and maintain patient medical records, which are created under the supervision of an attending physician. The scribe will document the patient’s story, the physician’s interaction with the patient, the procedures performed, the results of laboratory studies, and other pertinent information. Additional functions of a scribe may include ordering laboratory or radiology studies, assisting with the patient’s disposition, documenting consultations, and notifying the physician when important studies are completed. Medical scribes can also expect to assist providers with administrative tasks such as handling phone calls, retrieving lab results and other duties as needed.
