Studies consistently show that physicians spend 37–49% of their total work time on EHR documentation and administrative tasks — often after hours, often at the expense of patient care quality and personal wellbeing. This is the primary driver of physician burnout in modern medical practice.
EMBS virtual scribes are HIPAA-certified documentation specialists who work inside your EHR in real time, capturing everything — history, exam findings, assessment and plan, orders — as the encounter unfolds. Charts are complete and ready for sign-off the moment the visit ends. Your physicians focus entirely on the patient in front of them. After-hours charting becomes a thing of the past.
The same 10-hour clinical day — completely redistributed. Less time on documentation, more time on patients and life outside the clinic.
Not every practice has the same workflow. EMBS offers multiple scribing models so your documentation support fits the way you actually practice — not the other way around.
Scribe joins the encounter virtually, documenting everything in your EHR as the visit happens. Charts are complete and ready for physician sign-off the moment the patient leaves — zero documentation backlog.
LiveCharts completed within a guaranteed turnaround time after the encounter — ideal for practices that don't need live scribing but want documented charts ready before the next morning's schedule.

Every scribe is HIPAA-certified and operates under strict data security protocols — encrypted connections, role-based access, and documented BAAs. Patient privacy is non-negotiable in every scribing session.
Scribed notes capture the clinical complexity that drives accurate coding — reducing undercoding, supporting medical necessity for higher-complexity visits, and delivering a 25% faster billing turnaround when charts are coded same day.
Trained backup scribes available for every provider — ensuring continuous coverage during vacations, illness, and schedule changes. You never arrive for clinic without documentation support in place.
Full scribing support for telehealth encounters — HIPAA-compliant virtual connections, specialty-specific telehealth documentation standards, and platform compatibility with Doxy.me, Zoom Health, Teladoc, and others.
The most consistent theme: physicians getting their evenings back. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Their scribes have completely transformed our clinic's efficiency. No more late charts, no more staying until 8pm to finish notes. Every chart is done before I leave the building. Our billing team gets charts the same day and reimbursements come in noticeably faster.
Now I spend my evenings with family instead of catching up on documentation. I was skeptical — I'm a detail-oriented cardiologist and thought no scribe could learn my documentation style. Within three weeks my scribe was producing notes I'd have written myself. That accuracy matters for coding and it shows in my collections.
The billing improvement was an unexpected bonus. Our charts were always a couple days behind before — now they're same-day, coded same-day. The 25% faster reimbursement turnaround has made a measurable difference in our monthly cash flow. The scribing pays for itself in faster collections alone.
Medical scribing is priced per shift or as a monthly retainer based on provider count and daily volume. Volume discounts available for multi-provider practices. No long-term contract required — cancel any month without penalty.

Common questions from physicians and practice administrators evaluating medical scribing services.
A medical scribe is a trained documentation specialist who records patient encounter information in real time or asynchronously within your EHR — capturing history of present illness, review of systems, physical examination findings, assessment and plan, orders, and follow-up instructions. This allows the physician to focus entirely on the patient during the encounter rather than dividing attention between the patient and documentation. EMBS scribes are trained in specialty-specific terminology, clinical workflows, and your specific EHR system before they begin documenting.
A transcriptionist converts dictated or recorded audio into text after the encounter has ended — producing a transcript that still requires physician review, editing, and manual EHR entry. A medical scribe works in real time during the encounter, entering structured clinical documentation directly into the EHR as the visit unfolds — including assessment and plan, orders, and follow-up. The result is a complete, structured note that requires only physician review and sign-off, saving significantly more time than transcription and producing billing-ready documentation from the moment the encounter ends.
EMBS scribes save the average provider 2–3 hours of documentation time per day — time currently spent on post-visit charting, chart catch-up, and EHR inbox management. For a physician seeing 20–25 patients daily, this documentation burden typically consumes 2–4 hours of post-clinic or after-hours time. With scribing, charts are completed in real time and ready for physician sign-off immediately after the encounter — eliminating the documentation backlog that is one of the primary contributors to physician burnout in modern medical practice.
EMBS scribes work with all major EHR systems including Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Kareo, AdvancedMD, DrChrono, Modernizing Medicine, NextGen, Allscripts, Practice Fusion, and 10+ more. Scribes are trained on your specific EHR before they begin documenting — including your templates, custom fields, order sets, and workflow preferences — ensuring documentation quality is consistent from the first session.
Yes. EMBS provides scribing support for telehealth encounters — joining the virtual visit as a silent observer through a secure, HIPAA-compliant connection and documenting in real time exactly as they would for an in-person visit. Telehealth scribing follows the same specialty-specific documentation standards and EHR workflows as in-person scribing. We support all major telehealth platforms including Doxy.me, Zoom for Healthcare, Teladoc, and others.
Scribing improves billing in two ways. First, same-day chart completion means charts are available for coding the same day the service is rendered — reducing billing turnaround time by 25% and accelerating cash flow. Second, complete, detailed documentation captures the clinical complexity that supports accurate E&M level selection — reducing undercoding of complex visits and providing the medical necessity documentation required for higher-reimbursed procedure codes and specialty-specific services.
Most scribes are fully operational within 5–10 business days of engagement. The onboarding process includes: EHR system training using your specific templates and workflows, specialty-specific terminology training, review of your documentation preferences and style, and a supervised shadowing period before live documentation begins. EMBS manages the entire onboarding process — you provide access and preferences, we handle training and readiness assessment.
