ScribeAmerica is a provider of medical scribes to hospitals and medical practices.[2][3][4] Co-founders Michael Murphy and Luis Moreno met in 2002[5] and founded ScribeAmerica the following year in Lancaster, California.[2][6][7][8] ScribeAmerica was headquartered in Aventura, Florida[2][9] but recently moved its main offices to a larger facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The company had an annual revenue of $32.1 million in 2012.[10] In August 2014, the company had 4,100 scribes[11] in 610 hospitals.[1][12][13] As of December 2014, the company had 4,635 employees across 580 contracts. ScribeAmerica acquired Medical Scribe Systems (Emergency Medicine Scribe Systems Inc.) in 2015 [14] and PhysAssist, a competing scribe company, in November 2018.[15] In the Wall Street Journal, Murphy estimated 10,000 medical scribes work in the United States, mostly in emergency rooms.[16]

The Affordable Care Act offers incentives to the adoption of electronic medical record-keeping.[16][17][18] ScribeAmerica is the most frequently-used medical scribe provider in the United States and documented 7 million patient visits in 2012.[4][19][20] Since the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act passed in 2009, the company has grown 90-100% each year.[21]
