TeleScribes: Tailored Remote Documentation Solutions

TeleScribes offer flexible, tailored, real-time documentation solution, delivered by the nation's leader in medical scribe training and management. We offer two models of TeleScribes to meet the physical and financial needs of your site.

TeleScribe Models

TeleScribes Video

TeleScribes Video allows you to enjoy the benefits of a live scribe, as if they were in the room with you. With TeleScribes Video, the provider and scribe are connected through a mobile tablet via a secure, easy to use app. The tablet can be set on a counter, or transported on a mobile cart. The provider and scribe are able to easily communicate audibly, and the video environment allows the scribe to respond to valuable non-verbal cues.

TeleScribes Audio

Our TeleScribes Audio program offers flexible and affordable medical scribe services over a landline or mobile phone. TeleScribes Audio delivers a virtual solution with the unparalleled benefits of ScribeAmerica’s highly-trained, domestic scribes. Scribes capture all key information and document the encounter in the appropriate EHR field.

The Real-Time Documentation Process

Convenient Connection Options: Providers connect to a medical scribe in real-time via a tablet on a stand, mobile cart, or a phone. The provider enters the room with the patient and will connect with their medical scribe. Provider communicates with TeleScribe via video over tablet on cart, or via audio through a HIPAA secure land-line.

Secure, Reliable Documentation: Scribes are able to document a first-hand account of the provider and patient interaction over a HIPAA-compliant connection. Real-Time Documentation: The scribe completes EHR documentation in real-time, in-parallel with the visit, unlike dictation. TeleScribe documents encounter directly into EHR using their own account in real-time.
