As a vice president with the multinational medical transcription company Cameo Corporate Services, Ashok “Ash” Bagdy heads its health care outsourcing division from offices in Tampa, Florida. Since 2018, Ashok Bagdy’s employer has been providing virtual scribing services to American physicians and medical organizations. Whether virtual or in person, the primary difference between medical transcription and medical scribing is in the depth of service provided. A medical transcriptionist simply listens carefully to a physician-patient interaction or a physician’s note dictation and then types that interaction/dictation exactly as it happened. A medical scribe, by contrast, is tasked with interpreting physician-patient conversations and crafting documents with pertinent information that contains coding information for billing purposes. Unlike transcription, which requires careful attention to detail but limited medical knowledge, scribing requires a thorough understanding of health care terminology and codes, as well as medical anatomy and physiology. In addition to recording general physician-patient interaction, a scribe must also document all performed medical procedures and all laboratory study results.

It helped when you mentioned that scribing demands a comprehensive knowledge of healthcare terminology and codes. My friend wants their physicians to focus on patient care. I think it's best to hire a virtual medical scribe to make the process smooth.
