A medical scribe is very similar to a physician assistant and personal assistant. They are the right-hand man of the physician. They are members of the health care team, who work together to give the patient the best care they need. Scribes are with the physicians, at all times, helping them with charting, which helps strengthen the physician-patient relationship. The doctors will then be able to give their full attention to the patient without having to worry about writing down the information that is being said. It is important for the doctors to build that relationship with the patient, as the patient will feel more comfortable communicating with the doctor.
