Medical Scribes

Remote and in-person medical scribes · Arkansas since 2012

A trained scribe documents every visit in real time, in the room or remotely, so your charts are finished when your last patient leaves. A person who learns how you practice, catches what's missing, and is there tomorrow.

Why a person

Software hears the visit. A scribe understands it.

Automated tools hand you a draft to fix at nine o'clock at night. A trained scribe knows your templates, your phrasing, and your patients, and gives you a chart that's ready to sign.

Your evenings back

Documentation happens during the visit, so the chart closes with the clinic day instead of after dinner.

Eyes on the patient

You talk to the person in front of you, not the screen beside them. Patients notice.

Gaps caught before you sign

Your scribe flags missing elements while there's still time to address them.

Coverage that doesn't lapse

We hire, train, and manage every scribe, and we cover absences. You never start a clinic day without one.

Two ways to work

In the room, or on the line.

Same training, same accountability. Choose the setup that fits your clinic, or use both.

Remote scribe

Present without the crowd.

Your scribe joins each visit by phone or computer and documents as you go.

  • No extra person in the exam room
  • More privacy for sensitive visits
  • Any specialty, any location
  • Backup coverage built in
  • One daily rate, with no W-2 overhead on your books
In-person scribe

At your side, all day.

A scribe in clinic with you, built for high-volume and fast-moving days.

  • Hands-on support in the flow of clinic
  • Real-time collaboration between visits
  • Trained to your workflow and documentation style
  • Placement, training, and management handled by MedOptim

From our physicians

Thirty to thirty-five patients on a half day, and out the door about forty-five minutes earlier.

Two to two and a half hours of charting gone from every day, and patients moving through faster.
Angela Driskill, M.D.Baptist Health Wound Care
My scribe reminds me of gaps in documentation, and there's no one extra in the exam room.

Questions

What physicians ask us first.

What does a medical scribe do?

A medical scribe documents the patient visit in your EMR as it happens: history, exam findings, assessment and plan, orders, and follow-up instructions. You review and sign the note. The goal is a finished chart by the end of the visit, so you aren't charting after clinic.

What is the difference between a remote scribe and an in-person scribe?

A remote scribe joins each visit by phone or computer and documents from offsite, so there is no extra person in the exam room. An in-person scribe works beside you in clinic, which suits high-volume, fast-moving days. Both are trained to your workflow, and many practices use a mix.

How is a human scribe different from an AI scribe?

AI scribe software produces a draft from a recording, and the physician still has to read and correct it. A human scribe learns your templates, your phrasing, and your patients, catches missing documentation before you sign, and is accountable for the note being ready. You get a finished chart instead of a draft to fix.

Which EMR systems do your scribes work in?

MedOptim scribes work in Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Tebra (formerly Kareo), Meditech, and Praxis. They document directly in your existing record, so there is no new software to install.

Which specialties do you support?

MedOptim scribes support primary care and specialty practices, including urology, orthopedics, spine, neurosurgery, pain management, wound care, and podiatry. Each scribe is matched to your specialty and trained on how you document.

How much time does a medical scribe save?

Physicians working with a MedOptim scribe save two to three hours of charting time per clinic day, and practices with a dedicated scribe typically see 20 to 30 percent more patients without extending clinic hours.

How is a scribe priced?

MedOptim scribes are billed at a daily rate per scribe. The scribe is our employee, so there is no W-2 overhead, recruiting, or training cost on your books. Call us for a rate based on your schedule and whether you need remote or in-person coverage.

What happens if my scribe is out sick?

MedOptim hires, trains, and manages every scribe and provides backup coverage, so your clinic day is covered when your regular scribe is out.

Do physicians still review and sign the notes?

Yes. The physician reviews and signs every note and remains the author of record. The scribe prepares the documentation during the visit so it is ready for your review.

Where is MedOptim located, and do you work outside Arkansas?

MedOptim is based in Little Rock, Arkansas, and has placed scribes with Arkansas physician practices since 2012. In-person scribes serve Arkansas practices. Remote scribes can work with practices in any location.
