ScribeNest Hires Healthcare Undergraduates to Improve Emergency Medical Care

Dallas, Texas – ScribeNest, a locally owned and operated medical scribe company in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, hires “pre-health students” – a blanket term for undergraduates studying for careers in medical fields – to provide clinical documentation and electronic health record assistance work in local emergency departments.

ScribeNest was founded by Fort Worth native, Dr. Elliott Trotter MD, who first hired five pre-med students from Texas Christian University in 1995 to shadow him in the emergency room and record his patient interactions. Soon, Trotter discovered that his notes were legible and the scribes significantly improved the efficiency of over patient care. Scribes and patients both loved the experience.

Medical scribes play a crucial role in capturing medical encounters, documenting patient history, physical exam findings, and treatment plans. Without a scribe, many emergency medicine providers are challenged managing the electronic health record and their documentation, while also delivering timely patient care.

ScribeNest takes a  unique approach by hiring pre-health students trained by local emergency medicine providers to produce fast and accurate documentation of emergency department encounters. By placing pre-health students in the fast paced, dynamic environment of the emergency department, ScribeNest provides a valuable opportunity for aspiring healthcare professionals to gain hands-on experience in a medical setting and to build invaluable mentorship relationships with experts in their area.

“We are excited to offer pre-health students a chance to work alongside experienced emergency medicine providers, providing them with valuable clinical experience and fantastic mentorship that gives them a tremendous advantage in their medical careers,” said Dr. Trotter. “The ScribeNest difference, that’s what sets us apart. We focus on scribe wellness, mentorship, and happiness.”

The company provide a valuable learning opportunity for pre-health students and improves patient care outcomes by delivering accurate and timely medical documentation. Emergency medicine providers can focus on providing the best possible care to patients while medical scribes handle their documentation and other administrative tasks efficiently and accurately.
