A remote medical scribe is a trained professional who assists healthcare providers with documentation and administrative tasks, primarily through virtual means, such as video conferencing or phone calls.
The primary difference between a remote medical scribe and an in-person medical scribe is the location of the work. While an in-person medical scribe works alongside a healthcare provider during patient visits, a remote medical scribe works from a separate location.
Using a remote medical scribe can provide several benefits, including increased efficiency and productivity for healthcare providers, improved accuracy in documentation, and reduced costs associated with hiring and training additional staff members.
