Scribe Solutions Blog The Hot Growth Area That is EMR and Scribes

A few years ago, one of the first big whitepapers on EMR as a hot growth area for staffing came out, titled "The Electronic Paper Trail: Why EMR is Staffing's Hot Growth Area", and this piece identified the EMR growth in healthcare. But, with this "hot growth area" that is EMR staffing for implementation comes another piece to the puzzle, one that our team at Scribe Solutions is very familiar with: the medical scribe. The article says, "healthcare information technology is the new big thing in staffing, thanks to the growing need for healthcare organizations to implement electronic medical record (EMR) systems. While this article is correct in saying that there is/was a growing need for healthcare organizations to implement EMR systems, since this article was written in 2011 some of that has changed and the new need is for data entry. There was an initial wave of EMR systems implementations following the Affordable Care Act becoming effective in 2010.
