Saw an article recently that the faster growing job in the medical sector was medical transcriber, someone who sits there and fills in all the EMR/EHR cr@p so the nurses and docs can actually spend some face time with the patient. Why didn’t this doc have someone handle the electronic/computer BS for her?
money. this ole gal was not really charging enough to pay staff.
Transcriber is probably a job without much future - technology is taking over. Menu driven input; first capture, and voice recognition are going to eat into that job description. And any time freed up won't mean more face time with the patient. It will just mean more bodies on the assembly line.
