Researchers Working to Change the Way We Take Our Medicine

OMAHA (FOX 42 KPTM)– The days of taking pills to get rid of a disease or illness could soon be over, and it’s all thanks to some new technology that’s so small you can’t even see it. People from across the world are working in Omaha to make that break through.

Here at UNMC, one American scientist and a Pakistani scientist are united in one fight-and that’s to better treat diseases like HIV and tuberculosis.

As doctors go paperless, more turn to medical scribes for help

Physician frustration with electronic health records has prompted a boom in a profession called “medical scribing.”

Medical scribes generally sit in the exam room and type into the patient’s electronic chart as the doctor and patient talk. The number of doctors using scribes in the Midwest and across the nation is fairly small but growing fast. Scribes can help doctors see more patients, and patients don’t have to wait so long for appointments. Scribes also can reduce the amount of time tacked onto the end of a doctor’s day while he punches information into the computer system.
