Do you know what your scribe did last spring? The impact of COVID-19 on medical scribe workflow.
This study assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the workflow of medical scribes. This prospective observational study was conducted at an academic medical center in the United States. A total of 74 scribes working in ambulatory practices were recruited, with 57 scribes completing the survey. Overall, 42% of scribes transitioned to remote scribing with 97% serving as remote scribes for telehealth visits. These scribes worked at home and used personal equipment. Of those no longer working as scribes, 46% worked in preclinic support, with a wide range of EHR-related activities reported. The remainder were either redeployed or furloughed.
