Cons
Passive Aggression in workplace to work faster Patients are timed from the moment they sign in to when they check out not counting in for how long the process of paper enrollment takes Given odd tasks to complete even when we are already busy(ie step up blood draw for medical assistants and entering in billing codes) Some sites see over 100 patients and if it’s not a supersite, they put only 2-3 scribes when there should be 4 Some sites only have 1 provider and may see >50 patients, This is not only stressful for the providers but for the scribes as well bc providers get frustrated and sometimes mean Some shifts are 8am -8 pm but that’s not the case with some sites, there isn’t a stop checking in patients bf 8pm so you HAVE to work till 9pm -12 pm Management gets anxious when scribes don’t clock out for lunch when they can’t if they want to go home in time , some will want you to pretend to take a break when you’re really not They don’t account for distance from your home and make you work at other far sites When you find another job in the company they say you will get it and put a good word then tell the hiring team don’t hire them
