How to Save an Hour a Day on Your Clinical Notes

Imagine if your clinical notes were done for you...

At ProMedica Partners, we believe you should NOT have to worry about charting.

That’s why we created ProMedica Smart Scribe™.

Smart Scribe™ lets you focus on your patients. That's your job. No one else can do it.

Without Smart Scribe™, you might spend hours each week (or each DAY) charting - neither caring for patients, nor at home with your family.

Your practice - and your life - can’t sustain that. Even beyond quality of care, your time is extremely valuable. An hour caring for patients is worth hundreds of dollars - but you don't get paid for clinical notes.

Work in your EMR is simply extra work, more time in the office - but unpaid.

ProMedica Smart Scribe™ helps you get that time back.

Transcription doesn't fix the problem

The problem with verbatim transcription, including both transcription services and voice recognition software like Dragon, is that you still have to enter everything into the EMR itself.

You still spend hours clicking through endless authorizations, checkboxes, and forms.

It's enough to make you think to yourself, "I went to medical school for this?"

With all this extra work, it's easy to get burned out. And when you’re burned out, you’re not the only one who suffers. Your patients feel it. Your family feels it.

You need an EMR assistant

You don’t schedule your own appointments. You don’t do your own insurance authorizations, follow up with labs, or answer the phone.

Why would you do you own clinical notes?

In 2018, charting requires hours upon hours of clicks and screen changes. And while clinical notes must be correct, not every field, checkbox and authorization needs to be filled out personally by an M.D.

You already rely on your staff for many things. You need an EMR assistant too.

But hiring a new staff member is also a lot of work - and if it goes wrong, it can be more trouble than it’s worth.

Smart Scribe™ is much easier than hiring someone

Hiring new staff isn't easy.

You have to advertise the position. You have to interview applicants, contact references, do background checks. Once you do hire someone, you have to train them. They have to learn your office system, your EMR, and your personal routines. They need to show up on time every day. If they're sick, you need a backup plan.

It all takes a lot of time.

And you can't just bring anyone into the exam room with you.

The presence of a scribe inevitably affects the patient experience.

With Smart Scribe™, it's just you and the patient. And you don’t have to manage anyone. We do that for you.

Your transition to ProMedica Smart Scribe™ will be all but seamless - you won’t waste time figuring out the transition.

ProMedica Smart Scribe™ is different

Imagine if, when you come into the office each morning, the previous days clinical notes were already complete. You simply log on to your EMR to review each entry for accuracy.

That’s how Promedica Smart Scribe™ works.

Smart Scribe™ is your personal charting assistant. It's like a skilled employee dedicated to your EMR entries - except you don't have to manage them. When you finish an appointment, you give your precise instructions for the clinical note into your phone, and move on to the next patient.

That’s it.

Smart Scribe™ completes each note exactly as if you had done it yourself.

Here's the secret.

Smart Scribe™ isn't some mechanical, AI transcription service. You don’t have to speak like a robot. Smart Scribe™ is a diligent, highly trained assistant - trained to do YOUR clinical notes, to work in your EMR interface.

With ProMedica Smart Scribe™, you can chart almost as fast as you can see patients. You barely have to pause between appointments. Many of our clients finish their notes in the time it takes to walk between exam rooms.
