A Scribe is an associate who enters patient information into the electronic medical record under the direction of a provider during the performance of a clinical service. This staff member follows the provider and is present during the provider’s performance of a clinical service. The individual documents (on behalf of the provider) in real time the patient experience and information shared during the visit. The individual may not be seeing the patient in any other clinical capacity and must not interject his/her own observations or impressions. Tasks performed by the scribe must adhere to approved standards of care in compliance with CMS rules, the Joint Commission standards and NCH guidelines. A scribe is considered an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP).
