Hey hey, welcome back to the show. So—quick pulse check for all my healthcare folks out there: how many hours did you spend charting this week?

Two? Four? Eight? Yeah, I feel you. You spend all day seeing patients, and then boom—your "second shift" starts: charting.

And the thing is, this isn't just a you problem. It’s happening everywhere. Providers are overwhelmed with documentation.

It’s like you went to med school to heal people, not become a full-time note taker, right?

So let’s talk about something that's helping tons of providers reclaim their time: online scribes.

Now, if you’re picturing some robotic AI spitting out barely usable notes—nope. I’m talking real, trained humans.

These online scribes—especially through DocVA—literally sit in on your visits remotely and handle charting, in real-time or async.

Imagine you're doing a regular patient visit—HPI, exam, plan—all of that. Your scribe is securely listening in while you focus on care.

By the time you're done and onto the next patient? Boom, your note is already drafted, just how you like it.

You might do a quick review, tweak a line or two—but that’s it. No hours of typing SOAP notes after your shift.

A pediatrician I know started using DocVA scribes and said it cut her after-hours charting by like 90%.

She started having dinner with her kids again. I mean, when was the last time you finished work before the sun went down?

And onboarding? Super chill. DocVA tailors their scribes to your workflow and note style preferences.

Like your notes structured a certain way? They’ll match it. Want just HPI and Assessment? Cool. Full notes? Covered.

Oh—and don’t worry about compliance. Their scribes are HIPAA-trained, professional, and work on secure systems.

This isn’t just about saving time. It’s about reducing burnout, improving accuracy, and letting you focus on patients.

The patient experience? Way better when you're not glued to a laptop during the visit. Trust me.

Alright, let’s bring it home. If you’re drowning in documentation, missing out on life because of charting—try online scribes.

DocVA is doing it right. It’s efficient, easy, and makes a huge difference in your day-to-day.

So yeah—stop being your own scribe. Hand it off. Go be the doctor, the provider, the healer you trained to be.

That’s it for today. Catch you next time—and hopefully with way less paperwork on your desk.
