In March 2019, I accepted a scribing position with AQuity and have not looked back! When I came on board with this company, I completed the training that is required by all scribes and felt it was geniunely beneficial. The Scribe Academy is the first stop of many in virtual scribing, and it gives you […]
I scribe for two providers, so I have two very different types of days in my life as a scribe! On Mondays and Fridays, I scribe for Dr. Persing, who is Yale’s Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is doubly board certified in both plastic surgery and neurosurgery, and he sees a mix of […]
By Anne Bean, Scribe Training Administrator for AQuity Solutions (Reprinted from the September 2019 issue of Vital Signs, AQuity’s monthly newsletter for the Scribing Division.) There seem to be competing interests in the world of healthcare information management. How can healthcare information be shared freely while keeping it out of the wrong hands? On one […]
I have the pleasure of working for Dr. Susan Sykas at Appleseed Pediatrics. A normal day starts off around 8:00 AM. Dr. Sykas joins me in FFS and we talk about how our weekend/night went. Lori, her RN, will come in once she has the first patient roomed and talk with us about what she […]

As the patients begin to arrive, we typically access old notes and I start copying relevant information onto a Word document, […]

Who wouldn’t want to play this game, right? According to a 2018 study, exposure to humanities such as literature, music, theater, and visual arts provides […]
I have had the amazing opportunity of working with Dr. Fleet of Huggins Hospital in New Hampshire. Clinic starts at 8:00 AM; however, I log in about 7:30 so I can start his chart prep. We use a lot of templates and pull over pertinent information from the prior charts. We have anywhere from 12 […]
(Reprinted from the May 2019 issue of Vital Signs, the monthly scribe newsletter from AQuity Solutions.) Do you ever think about how you think? I don’t know about you, but sometimes I don’t want to look at my thought processes too closely! Other times, I tell myself that I need a new way of looking […]
I have had the opportunity to scribe for Dr. Grace Lee in endocrinology and Dr. Kenneth Mancher in family medicine. Working with these two doctors has allowed to me learn about two interesting specialties and learn about different providers’ preferences. I am no longer working with Dr. Lee, but I had a great experience scribing […]
