A resident of Tampa, Florida, Ashok “Ash” Bagdy serves as the vice president of outsourcing services of the US office of Cameo Corporate Services Limited, a business process outsourcing firm headquartered in India. Ashok Bagdy heads the company’s healthcare outsourcing division, which has begun offering virtual scribing services to physicians, clinics, and hospitals. Virtual scribing provides a remote option for medical scribing, a process that involves documenting patient visits and entering healthcare professionals’ notes into electronic medical records (EMRs) and electronic health records (EHRs). While traditional medical scribes join providers in the exam room in person, virtual scribes listen in from a different location via phone or video conferencing. The provider communicates electronically with the scribe, who uses screen-sharing technology with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance to navigate EMRs, update patient records, and perform other clerical tasks.
