About The Position

The Cardiac and Vascular Institute of Gainesville, FL is seeking Medical Scribes for our cardiology practice. These are part-time positions with variable hours. The primary goal of a Medical Scribe is to increase the efficiency and productivity of the physician they are working for, allowing the doctor to focus on what is most important: the patient. Medical Scribes perform clerical and information technology functions for a physician in a clinic setting, which includes the primary responsibility of operating the electronic health records and electronic dictation system. Medical Scribes must be discreet, tactful, and modest in their performance of duties to avoid distracting medical staff from patient care. Good judgment, organizational ability, initiative, attention to detail, and the ability to be self-motivated are especially important in this role. Adaptability and versatility are crucial, as Scribes will be responsible for many tasks. Good attendance is also an important element of this job, with full day(s) of availability needed, as the practice is open Monday through Friday. Some of the detailed job duties and responsibilities of a Medical Scribe include accurately documenting medical visits and procedures as they are performed by the physician, including patient medical history, physical exams, procedures, treatments, and physician-dictated diagnoses. Scribes also check for inconsistencies in medical documentation, ensuring that all clinical data and test results are recorded accurately in the medical record. They assist in developing and maintaining systems to track patient follow-up and compliance, and they attend trainings on various subjects such as information technology, legal compliance, and billing and coding. Additionally, Medical Scribes proofread and edit all the physician's medical documents for accuracy, spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and perform other duties as assigned.
