Why Telehealth Providers Need Virtual Scribes in 2025

Introduction

Telehealth is no longer an “alternative” option—it’s mainstream healthcare. In 2025, telehealth visits are projected to surpass in-person consultations for routine checkups. But with this shift comes documentation challenges, as doctors struggle to balance patient engagement with real-time note-taking

Harder to Capture Nuances –
No physical exam means missing non-verbal cues.
Physician Multitasking –
Doctors must diagnose, listen, and document all at once.
