ScribeAmerica stands as a prominent supplier of medical scribe solutions to healthcare facilities and medical offices throughout the United States. Established in 2003 by Michael Murphy and Luis Moreno in Lancaster, California, the company’s main office is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serving a wide array of clients within the healthcare sector.
By the year 2012, the company achieved revenues totaling $32.1 million and expanded its workforce to 4,100 scribes deployed across 610 hospitals. As of December 2014, ScribeAmerica employed 4,635 individuals under 580 active agreements. Its operational strategy leverages the increasing necessity for medical documentation assistance, fueled by the adoption of electronic health records and supported by incentives introduced through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Growth has been strategically driven through acquisitions such as Medical Scribe Systems in 2015 and the competitor PhysAssist Scribes in 2018, which have strengthened both market presence and service offerings. Under the leadership of CEO Dave King, the company concentrates on broadening its reach within emergency departments and diverse clinical environments.
In 2012 alone, ScribeAmerica documented over seven million patient encounters and experienced annual growth rates between 90% and 100% following the enactment of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act in 2009. Founder Michael Murphy highlights the company's contribution to mitigating physician burnout by enhancing clinical workflow efficiency through scribe services.
Recognized as the nation's most widely utilized medical scribe provider, ScribeAmerica maintains a competitive edge that secures its leadership position amid a continually evolving healthcare landscape.
