Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Impact of scribes on emergency medicine doctors' productivity and patient throughput: multicentre randomised trial.
To evaluate the changes in productivity when scribes were used by emergency physicians in emergency departments in Australia and assess the effect of scribes on throughput. ⋯ Scribes improved emergency physicians' productivity, particularly during primary consultations, and decreased patients' length of stay. Further work should evaluate the role of the scribe in countries with health systems similar to Australia's.
