Scribe

DeliverHealth’s Synchronous Scribe solution lifts the burden of documentation so providers can focus on what matters most – spending time on patient care. Providers connect with our highly trained medical scribes in real time. The scribes listen to the encounter and create a structured EHR note for physicians to review and sign off on.

Starting and Joining a Scribe Room

Configure Call Settings To create a virtual Sync Scribe room, click on the Join button. The call settings will load prior to the room opening.

If multiple cameras, microphones, or speakers are connected choose which devices to use by expanding the selection list for each device. If only one device is found it will be selected by default. Devices can also be changed after joining the scribe room.

The camera is turned off and the microphone is muted prior to joining the scribe room. Click on the microphone icon in the camera preview window to toggle mute on and off. Click on the camera icon to toggle the camera on and off. When the camera is turned on a preview will appear.

Click Start call to join the scribe room and begin the call.

Tip

The browser will request permission to use the camera and microphone upon starting the first call. Permission must be granted to join a synchronous scribe call. If permission is granted and saved, access will not need to be granted for each call.

Scribe Room Notification

Scribe Room Notification Multiple scribes may join the scribe room, but only one provider can join. If a scribe begins the call before the provider, the provider will receive a pop-up notification in InQuiry, similar to report notifications, stating the scribe room has been opened and by whom. This notification is only presented when the provider is not in the Scribe tab.

The notification contains a link to join the scribe room directly. Scribe rooms can also be joined by navigating to the Scribe tab, then click Join.

Alert
