Review Meta Analysis
Effect of scribes on patient throughput, revenue, and patient and provider satisfaction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Scribes offer a potential solution to the clerical burden and time constraints felt by health care providers. ⋯ We found no difference in length of stay or time to disposition with a small increase in the number of patients per hour seen when using scribes. Potential benefits include revenue and patient/provider satisfaction.
