The purpose of the study is to collect outcomes related to a quality improvement project assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of a medical scribe program in which medical scribes accompany clinicians during their visits with patients. The medical scribes involved in the project are professional scribes and medical students who will accompany clinicians during patient visits and takes notes, enabling the clinician to engage more directly with the patient.
The study has several specific objectives. This study aims to examine the impact of using medical scribes on (1) patient experience (e.g. patient satisfaction) (2) clinician experience (e.g. stress load, burnout, evaluation of the visit, amount of time spent after hours inputting notes), and (3) clinician-patient interaction (e.g. patient and clinician engagement during the visit).
