Virtual Dental Scribe, Remote Dental Scribe for Hire
Dental Virtual Scribe Services for Dental Transcription
Dental scribing is a process in which the actions and words of a dentist are recorded, transcripted and copied for later use. In years past, the only way that this was possible was for a dentist or one of their assistants to be in the operating room with the dentist and their patient for the sole purpose of taking notes.
However, a virtual dental scribe for office transcriptions from MedVA can watch or listen in on the dental visit via a secure, online connection. This allows for a feeling of privacy and security for the patient. It can be extremely time-consuming and costly for a dentist or dental assistant to perform scribing duties. Having a virtual dental scribe from MedVA perform these tasks is more cost-efficient and time-efficient.
How the Virtual Dental Scribing and Transcription Process Works
Virtual dental scribing and transcription work because you have a visual or audio recording of each of your visits with a patient as the dental professional. This can be done live, or you can send the recording to your MedVA virtual dental scribe after the visit is complete. The virtual scribe will document everything about the examination, just as they were in the room with you.
Scribing your visits in this manner will allow you to maximize your time with each patient. It will also allow you to increase your patient number each day because valuable time won’t be spent updating your EMR or EHR.
Advantages to Having a Remote Dental Scribe From MedVA
Having a remote scribe from a MedVA document and transcribing visits with your patients offers several advantages to traditional scribing.
An increased feeling of one-on-one privacy for your patient with virtual dental scribes
The importance of privacy and security for patients cannot be overstated. The more secure someone feels, the less stressed they are and the more likely they are to enjoy their dental visit. Eliminating extra people and onlookers from within the room will go a long way to ensuring that privacy.
You’ll get real-time EMR updates from your remote dental scribe
You’ll no longer have to take valuable time out of your day to update your electronic medical or health records. This extra time will offer you more downtime and help you be at the top of your game for each of your appointments. No matter what your goal is in regards to saving time, a virtual scribe from MedVA is here to help.

What training do your Dental Virtual Scribes have?

Obviously, this is in addition to their healthcare training and experience. Although the majority of our Virtual Dental Scribes are Registered Nurses, a few hold other healthcare-related degrees.
You will need to train your Remote Dental Scribe on the specific workflow to which they will be allocated in your office, just as you would train any new in-house employee with a good professional background.

What about HIPAA compliance and PHI security?
Our Virtual Dental Scribes are all HIPAA-trained and HIPAA-certified. At the time of onboarding, our staff verifies that the computer hardware and anti-virus software comply with our requirements. Clients should have their Dental Virtual Scribes sign Business Associate Agreements. Our organization is not required to sign a BAA because we do not have access to Patient Health Information.
Our Virtual Dental Scribes are located in the Philippines (with the exception of Spanish-speaking virtual assistants who are located in South America and are available upon request), where a large number of the country’s citizens are employed by U.S. companies, particularly U.S.-based healthcare companies. US companies and US-based healthcare companies are important to the Philippine economy and a major employer in the Philippines, so the Philippine government has enacted strict laws prohibiting Philippine citizens from disclosing confidential information in order to make US companies feel secure conducting business there. In 2012, the Philippine government established the Data Privacy Act, which is comparable to the HIPAA statute in the United States. The Data Privacy Act of 2012 gives coverage protection to U.S. firms that employ Philippine labor, while harshly punishing Philippine nationals who knowingly expose Patient Health Information of U.S. entities.
Please see here for more information about the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
