Time motion analysis: impact of scribes on provider time management The data analysis method that is used in this study is a t-test as a statistical test. All of the tests had statistical significance and were defined as the p-value of less than 0.05, were two-sided and the conclusion was determined using the statistical test. The study was observational in order for the research assistants to make sure that the findings were recorded with or without a scribe. The potential weaknesses of the data is that it was not measured correctly. The observation was limited to the research of a 24-8 hrs scribed shift and a 24-8 non-scribed shift, and based on the tasks that the provider undertook after those hours were not observed correctly by the research assistants but were self reported directly by the provider.The problem that this could cause is that the provider could modify the behaviors being studied and could rise the Hawthorne effect. The provider might not be spending the accurate amount of time with the patient by their bedside as they report. The key demographics of the population sampled were the providers that were observed on a 24-8 hr scribed shift and a 24-8 not scribed shift. The inclusion criteria for the participants would be the providers that self reported their shifts. The exclusions were anyone that was outside of the scribes and the provider that were being observed. The key findings showed that the scribes had decreased the time that was provided to the patient in total but did not decrease the time they spent reviewing the medical records, the orders they placed,the patient's chart with the other team members, and the time they spent with the patient at their bedside. The result of the test was significant.

The results of the research were taken by the mean of the on-shift and the post-shift. The on-shift =( the mean 55.3 vs 36.4 min, p<0.001) and post shift (mean 42.5vs 23.3 min, p= 0.038). They did not decrease the amount of time they spent looking at medical records or spending time with the patient. https://www.jem-journal.com/article/S0736-4679(18)30356-1/fulltext
