Doctors are Burning Out. But Remote Medical Scribes Can Help.

Did you know that for every hour physicians spend with patients, they spend nearly 2 hours on EHR documentation? This leads to physician burnout, with 54% of doctors reporting symptoms.

This heavy burden of documentation takes doctors away from what matters most - caring for their patients. As a healthcare leader, you know this firsthand. The constant clicking and box checking required for charting steals precious time from patient visits.

But what if there was a better way? Enter remote medical scribes. These specially trained documentation experts join the patient visit virtually, listening in to capture all medically relevant details. They take over note-taking duties, allowing the doctor to fully engage with patients.

After visits, scribes compile and complete chart notes on behalf of the physician. Doctors then simply review for accuracy. This saves physicians 1-2 hours per day previously spent in the EHR. More time for patients. Less burnout.

In a recent study, 92% of doctors reported improved work-life balance after partnering with a remote scribe. And chart quality was not compromised.

The solution is clear. To combat burnout and improve the patient experience, consider bringing remote medical scribes onto your care team. Your doctors and patients will thank you.

Consider collaborating with MedSer and availing it's medical scribe service. MedSer also offers a 5 day trial period for physicians to assess the quality of the service as well as giving MedSer a chance to prove its worth!
