Extremely poor pay for the work required. - Medical Scribe Nuance Employee Review

- requires much more medical interpretation than transcription - it is not as flexible as advertised, as you have less than a full day to complete all your charts. - every team lead has different rules and expectations which do not match training This is not a transcription job. Transcription plays no role whatsoever. If it were, it would probably be much easier. Instead, you are listening to doctors' exams/notes and creating a medical record of each patient encounter. Although they will hire people who do not have a medical background, it is very difficult to figure out the context of the patient encounters in order to know how to fill out the chart accurately. I thought the training was great and very comprehensive on how to write charts. When I graduated training and was assigned a team, my supervisor basically demanded I throw the whole thing out the window and do it her way. I struggled with it since the company has standards and I did not want to break the standards to write my charts. Before long, I was transferred to a different team lead, who had a different set of expectations for filling out charts, which also were not in line with the company standards. Because I'm a perfectionist and because I don't have the medical knowledge to be able to translate the doctor-speak, I spent hours trying to figure out terms and decipher what the physicians were actually doing during the exams. I was frustrated A LOT. The pay is lower than any transcription job I've ever taken, and a lot more is involved in this role than listening and writing down what's said. Interpretation and translation are also of utmost importance, and the company does not pay fairly for the services they expect from their scribes.
