Title: Module 5 Introduction: (CU1 M5) Scribing
Course: SkillsCom CMA 111 16.0 > Section: Credit Unit 1 Module 5

With the introduction of the electronic health records (EHRs) for patient charting, more documentation is possible than ever before.  However, more documentation takes more time to input the data which then takes away from patient care.  The time physicians spend during a patient visit capturing and entering data rather than focusing on the patient can be a hindrance to the quality of care. One current solution gaining popularity is the use of scribes. This Module discuss the use of scribes as a method of capturing the data without compromising the physician to patient interaction.

Module Outcomes:

- Define the roles and responsibilities of a scribe.
