The hustle and bustle of modern living contributes to many professionals feeling overwhelmed and run down. Physician burnout is a very real and alarming phenomenon and isn’t helped by healthcare’s administrative burden. The amount of time doctors spend on documentation is significant and contributes to long hours beyond patient consultations. An AMA survey revealed that 48.2% of physicians experienced at least one symptom of burnout in 2023.

When scribes handle electronic health records (EHRs), doctors can significantly reduce the hours spent on paperwork, allowing them to reclaim time for rest or research. For health providers, happier and less stressed-out physicians mean higher levels of patient care. Reduced burnout also means that services can retain their skilled practitioners for longer, reducing recruitment and training costs.
