-Scribe America's policies don't always align with the priorities of the hospital or the physicians. This often means that scribes CAN'T win. (A real-life example: some doctor really, really wants to leave his/her shift as early as possible, meaning the scribe is pressured to rush through charts, only document the bare minimum and spend little time proofing. This will come back to haunt the scribe, not the provider, in the eyes of Scribe America.)
- Scribes get widely varying instruction on how to chart properly by different trainers. This is a management problem which shouldn't exist.
- Scribes do roughly half (yes, I mean it, half) of a physician's work (especially in the Emergency department) and get 1/100 the pay. Don't expect every physician to remember this, and certainly don't expect them to be grateful. Scribe America sold that hospital a contract basically promising free slave labor.
- Also, don't expect that all physicians are willing to help you write good charts for them. Seem counter-intuitive and counterproductive? It is. But too bad.
