Overview of Scribe

Scribe allows a provider to delegate the creation and editing of chart notes to users. This feature must be configured in the Provider All-in-One Chart Note Settings and is also controlled in Maintenance > Users > Security.

To assign or remove a staff member as a scribe user, open the Provider All-In-One application and open any patient charge note window:

  1. Select the Chart Note Settings button at the bottom of the text window.
  2. Select the Configure button.
  3. Select the person that you would like to designate as your scribe from the Available list on the left then click Add to move their name to the Selected list on the right. The user(s) selected here will be able to access the Scribe application and create or edit chart notes on your behalf.
  4. To restrict staff members from editing your chart notes by selecting their name in the right-hand column and clicking Remove.

Click OK when you're finished to return to the Chart Notes Settings screen, then click OK to close the settings screen.

To launch CTScribe from the CTLauncher, click the Scribe icon.

IMPORTANT:  If you do not see the Scribe application in your CTLauncher application list, right-click the Launcher button, click Options, and select the Scribe checkbox to add it to your list of applications.
