Enhancing the Patient Relationship
As reported in many recent surveys, physicians are unhappy, burned out and don't have the time for the most important part of their jobs - their patients. In several studies that address burnout, physicians often cite EMR documentation as a major source of their frustration. Certified Medical Scribe Specialists (CMSS) have been shown to give physicians the time and space needed to help patients get truly well, transforming clinical care and enabling new paradigms for prevention and wellness. This session will introduce attendees to the expanded CMSS credential, which has paved the way for a new clinical team concept that focuses on patient-centric care at the point of care. Real-world examples of practices employing these teams will be presented. Attendees will be provided a checklist/assessment of practical implementation ideas that address workflow, creating efficiencies, improving care and outcomes, and meeting MACRA Quality Payment Program reporting objectives related to Advancing Care Information and Clinical Improvement Activities.
