Outpatient Scribes

When it comes to outpatient care, reducing wait times and managing patient volume is crucial. Scribes are an innovative and much-needed approach to improving outpatient workflow.

Customisation is key in the outpatient setting.

In today’s healthcare environment, one of the main challenges for doctors is how to reduce the amount of time care teams spend on ancillary or clerical duties. By looking at the specific needs and goals of each individual doctor, ScribeAustralia’s outpatient scribe programme is designed to meet these demands. In an outpatient setting, scribes give doctors more time to see patients and prioritise patient care.

ScribeAustralia’s medical scribe programme has expanded training and education to over 100 specialities and subspecialties. Scribes are able to document patient visits in greater detail, leading to more accurate reimbursements and revenue growth.
