  • Period*scribed reflects the interaction between scribed status and period (pre to post implementation), isolating the impact of scribes after implementation compared to before implementation.

  • * Controlling for provider characteristics (gender, race, panel size, percent full time equivalent in clinical care), patient demographics (age, gender, race/ethnicity), and patient complexity (complex care management program enrollment and at least 1 inpatient admission).

  • SE, standard error.
