Working With a Scribe

A doctor with a scribe entering patient information.

Dr. Rosner will typically have an assistant or scribe with him. The scribe enters the history, physical information, and orders into the electronic health record. This allows the doctor to spend more face-to-face time with the patient, instead of looking at the computer. At times instructions need to be given to the scribe. Most patients find this system to be a benefit, since notes are done completed quickly and accurately.
