Do you use scribes to help with documenting? Florida Hospital's David Goldman, D.O., explains the difference they can make.
Goldman isn’t afraid to say what many in healthcare are thinking: current electronic health record (EHR) systems just aren’t that intuitive for doctors. “It’s a computer system with a lot of clicks,” he says. “It cripples and your ability to be as efficient. I’m a productive guy. In a nine hour day, I could probably see 20-30 patients. With an EMR and no scribe, I’d be on the low end. That’s not sustainable.”
