Scribes document physical examination findings and procedures as performed by the physician. Scribes document the results of laboratory and radiographic studies as dictated by the physician. Scribes document the correct time of patient care related activities, including physician to physician communication, family communication and re-examination of the patient. When the physician concludes the patient’s encounter, the physician will review all documentation completed by the Scribe, make any necessary amendments, and sign off the chart.
