As a TPS, my job duties involve but are not limited to the following:

- Training new scribes on implementing and establishing new providers. I have successfully trained a good number of new scribes on establishing new providers belonging to different specialties including Internal Medicine, Orthopedics, Podiatry, Pediatrics, Gastroenterology, and Maternal & Fetal Medicine (subdivision of Ob/Gyn).

- Periodically auditing scribes that are working on established providers to check on quality and adherence to provider/organization specifics, and give them feedback on the same as well as communicate the same to the managers.

- I also provide training on transitioning established providers to new scribes if a scribe working on a particular provider resigns.

After getting training for 3-4 months, I started working as a Medical Scribe for an Internal Medicine Provider. I worked on this provider for about 6 months, after which I was transitioned to a Pain Medicine/Neurology provider. I worked on this provider for about 1.5 years before getting promoted to TPS/trainer position. Of note, the Pain Medicine/Neurology provider was a complicated provider. She was not happy with her previous scribe from a different location and requested change of scribe. She was then transitioned to me and I was able to meet her expectations and scribed for her for about 1.5 years before I was promoted as a trainer/TPS. Before taking up the position of TPS/trainer, I successfully transitioned the same provider to another scribe.

After about 15 years of experience in medical transcription industry, I joined Elico Healthcare Services to get trained for Medical Scribe. I successfully completed the training in 3-4 months and started my job as Medical Scribe. The new thing in the training was some knowledge of coding. We got basic knowledge of ICD and CPT coding.

I started my career in Medical Transcription in 2000 and worked in different roles in 4-5 companies. I worked on almost all specialties. Before switching to Medical Scribe, I was a Quality Analyst, which involved checking the files of transcriptionist for quality, clearing flags, correcting any errors before uploading, and giving feedback to the transcriptionist.
