You carefully avoided the word nurse substituting the terms Medical Assistant and scibes. An MA is a nurse. Scribes are not legally allowed to do data entry per Obamacare regs. Nor, for that matter are MA’s. The physician is the only person allowed to enter data in a patient’s online record.

Right...A MA is a nurse. Both professions go to school for the same amount of time and the pay scale is the same. Just like someone that works in a deli is also a butcher. Where my wife works they have not one had one single patient that had Obamacare. You are way off. They shut the doctors offices where she works for a week to teach the staff a new computer program. Have her work load now is patient data entry!

A Medical Assistant is very different from a Registered Nurse.

The physician is the only person allowed to enter data in a patients online record.I don't think that's quite right. Scribes can enter data, for instance the doctor's narration of the patient interaction, and there are a number of firms offering that service now.
What they can't do is enter medical orders. That requires a licensed medical professional. In theory, MAs who have received a certification could enter orders, but many MA programs don't offer formal certification.
