[PMM] #37 - Scribe Tips

Hi Don here, welcome to the Podiatry management minute. We're going to talk about scribe tips today. This is episode number 37. First of all, in terms of scribe, there are a lot of different scribes we kind of went back and forth on whether we needed a describe whether or not we could just type faster with all of us in the practice. We are very tight. We are very fast typers. We have a lot of nice macros that make our job.

Really, really easy. The main reason I chose to use a scribe or I'm using worker Lately is because I wanted to focus more at looking at the patient and less at looking at the computer. That was my big struggle. I felt like, I was always looking at the computer even though I'm very faster the computer. I felt really distracted and I wanted to focus more on the patient. So that's what I'm a kind of a month-and-a-half deep into it and it's working. Well, there's always ups and downs.

But my biggest tip, When developing a scribe is being patient because it took about a whole month, because we have a lot of these macros and templates and had to teach them how to use it. And so, Basically we use Microsoft teams and then I I was doing the note in the Scribe was watching me. So there's a lot of other back back stuff that my staff took care of setting up the

technology using a phone. I use a phone in my pocket, that's what they're in, they're able to listen and then when I talk I tend to talk a little bit more more Technical and I'll leave until the the patient that I have described are always getting permission to have a scribe in the treatment room. There are not able to see the system that I have, there are other systems that they can see. But I currently don't have that, that system that they can see. It's going on.

So I tell them verbally, or with our medical record, they can easily take pictures and put them in the chart so that scribe can look at the chart. There are few downfalls. If you guys are interested in more about scribes, let me know and I can do more episodes on that kind of like the pitfalls of it and things like that, but it might be something you want to consider. And please if you, if you like the songs beneficial, please like this video and then subscribe to this YouTube channel.
