Benefits How It Works

Emergency Department

In the Emergency Department, every moment matters and doctors are pressed for time. Along with 15-hour workdays, full waiting rooms and dozens of patient consults during every shift, administrative duties only add to these demands. For every hour spent with patients, ED doctors can spend up to 2 hours on documentation.

Optimise your ED with medical scribe support.

Every Emergency Department is unique. ScribeAustralia understands this, so we set up a scribe programme that adapts to the specific needs of your ED. Your scribe team will be fully trained to use your electronic medical record system and can provide 24-hour coverage in the Emergency Department. In the ED, every minute of a doctor’s time counts. Scribes update electronic medical records in real time, allowing ED doctors to focus on the patient, not a computer screen.
For both doctors and patients, scribes can make a significant impact in the Emergency Department. Studies have shown that using ED scribes can result in: improved job satisfaction among doctors; an increase in emergency doctor productivity; and a decrease in patients’ length of stay in the Emergency Department. Scribes support Emergency Department doctors by completing time-sensitive ancillary tasks. ED scribes also aid healthcare organisations in providing populations with more precise care.
