Dermatology Scribes
Dermatology clinics, in particular, are amenable to medical scribe services. With the high volumes and highly specialized technical jargon of the dermatology clinic, medical scribes can dramatically improve the quality of documentation, increase time spent with patients, and increase patient volumes. In addition, ancillary staff such as nursing and medical assistants can be freed up to perform more medically pertinent tasks such as preparation for biopsies, medication review, etc.
Because dermatology represents a unique realm for medical scribes, only certain companies offer training for dermatology medical scribes. Many dermatology clinics have contracted this service out to a medical scribe company that has a training system for dermatology scribes. Some clinics have hired their medical assistants to perform this job, but the ability to do this depends on the particular electronic medical record.
