The dictated examination in ophthalmology.
Although scribing has been used in ophthalmology for many years, the real benefits could not be realized until the entry of managed care into medicine in the United States. Everyone benefits in an office that uses scribes. The patient and the physician benefit by having a record that is much closer to being complete. The technician benefits as a result of becoming a pivotal reference for every patient encounter.
