The topic I chose is:
Time Motion Analysis: Impact of Scribes on Provider Time Management
Purpose of the study:
The purpose of this study is to determine if scribes benefit Emergency Department
providers with time management.
Research question addressed in the study:
There were 3 points addressed in this study, which are:
1. Comparing times with and without scribes for shift and post-shift documentation in the
Electronic Health Record.
2. Comparing times with and without scribes for bedside charting including interviews,
examinations, procedures, re-evaluation, disposition, and education.
3. Comparing times with and without the use of scribes for conversations with treatment
team members
Hypothesis of the study:
The study's hypothesis is that scribes are beneficial to Emergency Department providers
by saving them time when charting.
Study design: Experimental or observational:
The study design for this research is prospective observational study.
Data collection methods:
Data was collected from forty-eight shifts that were eight hours long. These twenty-eight
shifts were divided into two, one with and without using scribe with the observation of four
research assistants.
Are the data categorical or quantitative:
The data collection for this study is categorical.
Weakness of data collection methods:
A major weakness of this data collection is that the providers report their own after-hour
documentation times.
