When you hear “emergency scribe”, you’re thinking of a medical scribe who thrives in the high-pressure environment of the emergency department. An ER scribe works alongside physicians, documenting every detail in real time so doctors can focus on saving lives instead of typing notes.
That’s exactly what Medical Staff Relief (MSR) provides — trained emergency scribes who help your team boost productivity, reduce burnout, and deliver precision care. With MSR’s reliable support, your emergency department runs smoother, faster, and with greater accuracy.
What Is an ER Scribe?
An ER scribe (emergency room scribe) is a specialized medical scribe who assists physicians in emergency medicine settings by managing documentation tasks. They transcribe patient histories, record exam findings, update electronic health records (EHRs), and ensure charts are complete before billing and discharge.
– They accurately document the physician’s notes and actions.
– They ensure complete and accurate medical records in real time.
– They improve the doctor-patient interaction by reducing screen time
By using an emergency scribe from MSR, physicians regain valuable minutes every hour to focus entirely on their patients.

With MSR, emergency physicians spend more time diagnosing and consulting — and less time typing. This means improved patient outcomes, reduced doctor burnout, and better morale across your care teams.
