Time​ ​&​ ​Cost​ ​Challenge​ ​Before​ ​Scribe    

The doctors were working overtime to better document and chart patient information in the EMR. They utilized tools such as Dragon voice recognition software and were paying office staff overtime at a rate of $10 per hour to assist in chart completion as well. The doctors and staff were not consistently able to deliver “value-driven” notation without all parties spending extended hours on​ ​a​ ​daily​ ​basis.   

Time​ ​&​ ​Cost​ ​Challenge​ ​With​ ​Scribe   

Pairing Scribe’s mobile application ScribeMobile with their charting services, Scribe Charting instantly gave the physicians a more streamlined workflow and same-day, accurate completion of a “value-driven” chart for​ ​each​ ​patient.    ScribeMobile streamlined the process for the physicians – they no longer had to return to  their workstation and go through the cumbersome process of logging in, finding the patient record, selecting the generic section in the EMR, set Dragon, speak an  encounter in a section, review/edit that section, check the required boxes, and potentially approve/authorize only to then start the process over again with the next patient.

Findings

NANI’s​ ​original​ ​goal​ ​to​ ​gain​ ​”A​ ​cost-effective and​ ​efficient​ ​solution/service​ ​to​ ​accurately generate​ ​’value-driven’​ ​patient​ ​encounter documentation”​ ​has​ ​been​ ​realized​ ​along​ ​with other​ ​benefits,​ ​presenting​ ​a​ ​very​ ​strong​ ​case for​ ​the​ ​continued​ ​utilization​ ​of​ ​Scribe  Mobile​ ​and​ ​Scribe​ ​Charting​ ​services throughout​ ​the​ ​entire​ ​NANI​ ​network.    The​ ​time​ ​savings​ ​of​ ​over​ ​10​ ​hours​ ​per​ ​doctor each​ ​month​ ​should​ ​allow​ ​for​ ​more​ ​patient visits.​ ​If​ ​each​ ​doctor​ ​sees​ ​as​ ​few​ ​as​ ​2​ ​new patients​ ​each​ ​month,​ ​the​ ​cost​ ​of​ ​Scribe’s services​ ​would​ ​be​ ​covered​ ​and​ ​give​ ​NANI​ ​the potential​ ​of​ ​creating​ ​new​ ​revenue​ ​and growth.
