EPPA Medical Scribe Information
Medical Scribe A Medical Scribe works one-on-one with a physician (MD/DO), physician assistant (PA), or nurse practitioner (NP), accompanying them into each patient encounter. Scribes complete the Electronic Health Record (EHR) enabling providers to spend more time with patients and increase the overall workflow of the department. An EPPA Scribe documents everything that occurs during the visit from start to finish; including the patient’s history, physical exam, patient outcomes, plan, labs, imaging, and more. In return, Scribes become familiar with the workflow of medicine, medical decision process, medical terminology, and different provider styles to patient care. Medical scribing with EPPA is paid healthcare work experience in the clinical setting. Position Responsibilities Requirements x Accurate, timely charting of patient encounters, x Must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate including but not limited to: patient history, physical program (or graduated) with an emphasis in pre- exams, diagnostic findings, lab and test results, medical/science coursework consultations with other providers, treatment course, x Completed core science coursework and labs diagnoses, discharge instructions, and prescriptions. x Minimum GPA 3.0 or higher x Professional, non-intrusive interaction with patients x Must be computer competent with the ability to proficiently type at 60 wpm or higher (the scribe does not directly assist with patient care), x Excellent communication skills in grammatically- providers, hospital staff, and other co-workers. correct written and verbal English language x Compliance with hospital, HIPAA, and EPPA x Ability to problem solve in a dynamic and fast- policies, including those relating to confidentiality of paced environment patient information. -
Scribing, Signatures, and Attestations Medicare Auditors Investigate Instances in Which Signatures Are Not in Line with Medicare Rules
BUSINESS OF RETINA CODING FOR RETINA Scribing, Signatures, and Attestations Medicare auditors investigate instances in which signatures are not in line with Medicare rules. BY RIVA LEE ASBELL edicare’s Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) auditing is conducted by Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), the region- al subcontractors of the Centers for Medicare Mand Medicaid Services (CMS), such as WPS Medicare in Wisconsin and Cahaba Government Benefit Administrators LLC in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. Much of this auditing concerns improper chart documentation involv- ing scribing, signatures, and attestation statements. Because most practices are not even aware of the regulations, this review focuses on helping retina specialists get to know these rules and avoid being penalized for minor irregularities in chart documentation.

Introducing the American College of Medical Scribe Specialists—Advocacy, Education and Innovative Solutions to Streamline Clinical Practices
Introducing the American College of Medical Scribe Specialists—Advocacy, Education and Innovative Solutions to Streamline Clinical Practices We would like to introduce the American College of Medical Scribe Specialists (ACMSS)—a nonprofit membership organization founded in 2010—to prospective members and partners meeting CMS compliance, adopting national standards, and revolutionizing their healthcare practices. Who We Are Mission Statement: The ACMSS mission is to protect the integrity, quality, and efficacy of clinical documentation standards and training for Physicians, Clinicians, Payors, Certified Medical Scribe Specialists (CMSS), creating efficiencies for clinical care providers. Our professional leadership team is committed to the belief that intensive, initial, standardized training, coupled with continual learning and evaluation are key to developing a successful Certified Medical Scribe Specialist. Without ACMSS certification and compliance, a physician would lack the proficiency needed in compliance with MACRA law and the skills, knowledge, and workflow adaptation and adoption needed those who make up the most successful CMS clinician-driven, patient-centered programs and Physician/CMSS Teams across the country. ACMSS is committed to advancing a nationwide system of hybrid Certified Medical Scribe Specialist (CMSS) personnel who work across the specialties in Physician/CMSS teams throughout the healthcare system to build robust 21st century clinical care teams, relieve documentation burdens, and streamline clinical care and processes. Along with the board of ACMSS, Executive Director Kristin Hagen is leading this effort. She has been involved in both regional and national efforts as a technical expert to define and develop electronic health record specifications, and she is currently a member of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) “Clinician Voices” stakeholder participation ad hoc committee, in addition to a CMS stakeholder. -
Implementing a Scribe Program – Setting up for Success
Implementing a Scribe Program – Setting up for Success Exploratory Paper Samantha Beatty, FACMPE August 24, 2016 This paper is being submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Fellowship in the American College of Medical Practice Executives American College of Medical Practice Executives Professional Paper Exploratory Paper Implementing a Scribe Program – Setting up for Success The increasing use of electronic medical records (EMR) during the clinical encounter brings not only benefits but also barriers that may affect the doctor-patient relationship and increase the work burden of the physician (Koshy, S., Feustel, P. J., Hong, M., & Kogan, B. A., 2010). The adoption of EMR is becoming a widespread reality and may bring benefits including more efficient and effective patient encounters, better continuity of care between specialties, and improvement in data quality, readability, availability and information exchange. An EMR can also increase the opportunity to improve healthcare through better adherence to protocol guidelines, decreased medical errors, and improved data monitoring and aggregation (Shachak, A., & Reis, S., 2009). However, as clinicians and patients are increasingly experiencing the computer as a barrier during the clinical visit, groups are beginning to look at a variety of solutions to improve the clinician-patient relationship; leaving clinicians free to focus on establishing better rapport and communication with patients. One solution medical practices are exploring is the use of medical scribes. This paper is based on a literature search, personal experience, and several interviews of other practice leaders, with the goals of reviewing the evolution of scribes in the medical practice setting and determining how to implement a scribe program and set it up for success. -
