Scribe | Heart & Vascular | Day Shift | PRN

Overview:

This position serves to facilitate efficient and frictionless access, query, interaction, and data entry of a physician to the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and affiliated/associated patient data repositories including patient imaging and linked technologies. Much as EHRs have evolved to provide far greater reach than a handwritten note, scribe functionality is expected to function outside that of a "human typewriter." The goal of the scribe is to facilitate access to the all patient care data resources available to the physician and as such will be empowered to provide this functionality to the extent appropriate for the specialty using the scribe, which will be outlined by the Department Chair, Divisional Lead, and submitted to UFHP for awareness. The essential functions of a scribe may include: a. A scribe will provide efficient and frictionless access to the EHR and affiliated/associated data repositories. b. A scribe will provide efficient and frictionless interaction to the EHR and affiliated/associated data repositories. c. A scribe will provide efficient and frictionless data entry and query to the EHR and affiliated/associated data repositories. d. All of these functions will be performed at the direction of a physician either in an asynchronous or synchronous fashion. a. For example, if a physician has instructed the scribe to prechart before the live patient encounter with sufficient specific instruction, this series of access and data aggregation functions will not be disallowed. e. For patients with external data sources, scribes will provide summarization of data, printed or digital, with sufficient instruction of what data to abstract and how to abstract it per the physician's instruction. f. Following of "if-then" instructions: a. Retrieval of affiliated/associated resources, for example, not to be inclusive. i. If a scribe has been instructed to access Visage and to retrieve scans of certain types from a certain time range in order to eliminate delays in care provision due to archiving and retrieval of scans, this will be appropriate. ii. If a scribe has been instructed to access the PDMP when a physician is prescribing a scheduled medication, this will be appropriate. iii. If a physician has preprepared text for assessments and plans, instructions, or communications that should be triggered when an action is dictated. iv. If a physician has pre-prepared surgical ordersets and has specifically stated to the scribe that a pre-prepared orderset be pended, this will be allowed.
