The Kaneohe medical scribe course was originally set up for medical students that wanted an advantage before beginning their medical education. PAs, NPs, and nurses also quickly realized that scribing throughout Kaneohe took them to the top of their classes in professional Kaneohe-area medical school. The new group of people that we are seeing interested in scribing are Kaneohe-area people that choose this for a career. The advantage of a career scribe is that the Kaneohe physician does not have constant turnover. The disadvantage is that a Kaneohe, Hawaii medical scribe that plans to work for a physician for 10+ years is limited by the pay that they can receive if they work for Kaneohe-area scribe companies.

At this time, the only way for a trained Kaneohe medical scribe to find a physician, and for a physician to find a trained scribe, is through a medical scribe company that operates in Kaneohe, Hawaii. These companies typically charge the Kaneohe healthcare provider $23/hr, and pays the Kaneohe scribe minimum wage. When Scribes4Hire originated, we thought this discrepancy was ridiculous. There are many fees that go into developing a trained Kaneohe medical scribe including recruiting, education, insurance costs, taxes, accountants, and firm management. However, as a business serving Kaneohe, we have managed to limit them. We do not charge the Kaneohe, Hawaii physicians as much as we could, and we attempt to compensate the Kaneohe scribes fairly. We have come to realize that the only way the Kaneohe scribe can truly get paid what they deserve is by working for the provider directly, which is why we developed Scribes4Hire. You will apply directly to the service of the Kaneohe-area physician, PA, or NP. In essence, the Kaneohe healthcare provider pays less and the Kaneohe scribes can be compensated more, removing the “middle man.”

Over time, I have found many people inquiring about being a scribe in Kaneohe, Hawaii. I explain to them that if they can pass the course that gives them the core base of medicine, they will usually succeed. There is a need for scribes and a limited number of Hawaii pre-medical students. The medical scribe profession will have to adjust to the non-traditional pathway of hiring career employees for Kaneohe-area scribing needs. This course offers anyone and everyone a chance to make a career as a medical scribe throughout Hawaii.

This course is structured into two basic components.

The first part of the Kaneohe medical scribe course teaches you how to complete a medical note, using a stepwise approach. After you are taught the elements of a medical note, you will perfect your documentation by completing notes on more than 40 mock patient scenarios, all online from your Kaneohe home or office. You will be able to view the clock, the patient scenario, and the chart template at the same time. With each section, you will be given less time to complete the medical note. Your ultimate goal is to document a complete, error-free note within 10 minutes. Typically, Kaneohe-area physicians will see 2-8 patients in an hour, so speed with accuracy is a necessary requirement to work with a Hawaii health provider.

The second part of the Kaneohe medical scribe course presents and teaches core medical terminology and medical concepts. This material must be mastered before you can document a medical note since they are documented using medical terminology. When you pass the multiple-choice final, you will have demonstrated a strong base of medical terminology knowledge that will be needed to work as a scribe somewhere in Kaneohe, Hawaii.

You will also be introduced to "dot phrases" and templates that can speed up your documentation when you are working a scribe in Kaneohe, Hawaii. Hawaii scribes that set up and use dot phrases and templates can typically complete most of the medical notes during the initial encounter. This should be your overall goal while completing this Kaneohe scribe training course.

If you have any questions while you take the Hawaii medical scribe training course, please feel free to contact an instructor for support.

Upon successful completion of your Kaneohe scribe training program, you will receive a certificate of completion from Scribes4Hire. Formal certification is voluntary for the medical scribe profession in Hawaii. However, certification illustrates your commitment to succeed at your future Kaneohe healthcare provider. Regardless of education level and job experience, certification indicates a standardized level of knowledge and documentation skills.

The importance of the Kaneohe, Hawaii certification course is to guarantee to Kaneohe-area employers that an individual has met minimum standards of performance. Many Kaneohe healthcare providers do not have the time or resources to train a medical scribe in Kaneohe and are looking for trained Kaneohe scribes, ready to work in an already established medical practice.

You will have a competitive edge in the Kaneohe, Hawaii marketplace if you hold a certification. This gives you the opportunity to earn more money and have more career flexibility throughout Hawaii. There are several online certification exams that are available for Kaneohe medical scribes who have experience working in a clinical setting. You may want to consider adding these to your resume, in addition to your Scribes4Hire certification.
