This is a very interesting video. I currently work in labor and delivery and definitely see the need for this especially when we get really busy. I have also worked in a Surgical ICU and can see this being of great help in that setting. However, I would be interested to know how this would impact the patient and healthcare facilities financially. Further, how would this be implemented? If each nurse were to have their own scribe, that would double the number of personnel on a unit. How would that impact space? Also, to pay for the cost of hiring nurse-scribes, would that mean that each nurse will have a greater patient-to-nurse ratio? How will that impact nursing care?
