My providers are very thorough with information that they like to have in each of their notes, including imaging, labs, and discharge summaries from hospital encounters. I know some scribes do not do this, but I believe it is more time efficient and allows the scribe to become more familiar with their work flow and their patients prior to their arrival. In the morning, before my provider signs on to Fluency for Scribes (FFS), I start my daily precharting. In addition, I have covered for their peers when they are out of the office.ĭaily duties remain relatively the same for each provider. They have allowed me to learn about specialties that I previously had no knowledge of but was very interested in. The amount of information I’ve gained from working with these amazing providers is not something that can be simplified into words. I have been very fortunate to be assigned three amazing, supportive, caring, and dedicated doctors. I also learned that, much like healthcare, scribing is not one-size-fits-all! Everyone is willing and able to help new scribes succeed. However, I quickly learned that AQuity is a team/family. Intitally when I sat with them and watched their work flow, I was intimidated.

Immediately following the Scribe Academy, I was placed in Team Training and watched a fellow veteran scribe and his provider. The Scribe Academy is the first stop of many in virtual scribing, and it gives you a foundation of what to expect. Care is taken to ensure positive growth of these relationship expectations as a foundation of our service and serves as a unique competitive differentiator which improves assignment tenure and service value for all parties involved.In March 2019, I accepted a scribing position with AQuity and have not looked back! When I came on board with this company, I completed the training that is required by all scribes and felt it was geniunely beneficial. The AQuity scribe management team employs proprietary scribe-to-physician matching and ongoing support methodologies to ensure mutually rewarding relationships that consider the evolving expectations of the physicians along with potentially changing career objectives of the scribes. During ongoing operations, primary scribes train their back-ups during their onboarding and shadowing phases to ensure ongoing compliance for both provider organization and individual physician expectations.ĪxQuity recognizes the value of our scribing services are highly dependent on the quality of the relationships between the physician and their assigned scribe. Back-up team members shadow the primary scribe during their ramp-up phase and then regularly handle a portion of the physician’s weekly encounters to ensure consistent service levels and readily available support should the physician’s primary scribe’s availability change.ĭuring initial service ramp-up, scribes complete the same provider organization EHR training required of physicians to ensure familiarity with site specific system configurations and documentation conventions. Under all three AQuity virtual scribe workflow models, primary team members are assigned for each individual physician and supported by multiple back-ups. That way, if any individual scribe moves on in their career or simply goes on vacation, your physicians do not have to return to their previous documentation methods until another scribe is recruited and trained from the ground up. Unlike onsite scribes, which are inherently limited to one-on-one physician/scribe relationships, Aquity’s virtual scribe approach assigns a primary scribe for 75% of a physician’s workload and splits the remaining patient encounters between a pair of back-ups. Aquity’s real-time scribe, ScribeAssist™ and DynaScribe™ workflow options relieve physician burnout, minimize keyboarding time, and accelerate accurate chart closures.

Today, we provide scribing services to thousands of physicians coast to coast, from basic stress relieving support for individual physician practices to boosting clinical and financial results gains through hundreds of scribes assigned to nationally known hospital systems. Aquity Solutions was amongst the first to offer virtual scribing services back in 2017 and continues to lead the industry with flexible workflow models that increase patient face time, strengthen report quality, and improve physician satisfaction.
