As an online medical scribe focus, your duties entail documenting interactions between a physician and patient in a clinical setting, remotely recording information you hear over an audio connection. An online medical scribe may record doctor recommendations, fill in medical charting data or electronic medical records (EMR), document diagnoses and healthcare instructions to patients, or transcribe the entire interaction between a physician and patient. Your responsibilities may include working to write referrals or summarize recommendations made by the physician. As a virtual worker, you need a computer and reliable internet connection.
