发射场 announced today that it is investing $250,000 in iScribes to further develop its operational capacity and technology for delivering virtual scribe services to healthcare providers across the United States. iScribes是一个符合hipaa的移动应用程序和虚拟医疗记录服务。 医疗保健提供者使用移动应用程序记录患者就诊情况，虚拟抄写员听取患者就诊情况，编写医疗文档，并将其放入医疗保健提供者的电子病历（EMR）中，每年可为医生节省数百小时的文书工作。

电子病历的采用是美国医疗保健系统现代化的重要一步，但它也给医疗服务提供者带来了重大的新挑战。 据估计，医生现在花费40%的时间在电子病历中记录病人的遭遇，这直接减少了病人护理的时间。 电子病历也阻碍了医患关系，因为现在许多医生在检查时面对的是电脑而不是病人。

"iScribes exists to make healthcare functional and efficient," said Dr. Jared Pelo, Co-founder and CEO of iScribes. “Virtual medical scribes enable providers to conduct patient encounters naturally and efficiently with exceptionally high-quality documentation.,” said Dr. Pelo. Unlike with medical transcription, no dictation is required and scribes complete documentation directly in the provider’s EMR.

"The problem of time-consuming documentation for every patient office visit has been reduced," says Dr. John Mahoney, Orthopedic Surgeon with Spectrum Medical in Danville, who has used iScribes since October of last year. “I can focus more time on my patients instead of spending long hours at a computer or working with dictation services,” said Dr. Mahoney.

当一家公司进行一轮融资时，通常会有多个投资者参与。 本次交易由Launch Place牵头，总部位于北卡罗来纳州Research Triangle Park的天使投资基金Triangle Angel Partners II， LLC （TAP II）共同投资，总投资额为41万美元。 这项投资标志着两个地区如何合作，使早期公司能够发展和扩大业务。

“The membership of TAP II found the combination of iScribes' management team and application of technology to the healthcare services sector a compelling reason to make iScribes the 6^th portfolio company” said Stephen Clossick, TAP II Fund Manager.

“TAP II is equally pleased with its newly strengthened relationship with 发射场, as this co-investment has shown how well the two organizations can work together to provide early stage funds to regional start-ups,” said Clossick.

“We have had a strong relationship with TAP for multiple years and look forward to continuing our work together,” said Eva Doss, 发射场 President & CEO. “iScribes’ use of technology to improve a health provider’s productivity and accuracy as well as overall patient satisfaction has shown tremendous traction in the last year by the number of customers that have selected to use iScribes for their medical documentation,” said Doss.

iScribes的创立源于其联合创始人贾里德·佩洛（Jared Pelo）博士的挫败感。 "Once I started practicing medicine, I quickly saw how burdensome documentation had become. 医生们都累坏了。 Counterintuitively, technology didn't seem to help. In fact, the adoption of widespread electronic medical records just made matters worse for overworked doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants."

然后杰瑞德找到了解决问题的办法。 "My first medical scribe was a breath of fresh air. 我知道每个医生都应该有一个。 But also knew it would take technology that worked seamlessly to make scribing accessible," said Dr. Pelo.

客户相信这种技术和服务的结合。 到目前为止，许多使用iScribes的医疗保健提供商已经为该公司的早期阶段提供了资金。 "We know the validation that comes with customers who believe in your product so much that they invest," said Christopher McGuire, Co-founder and Head of Sales at iScribes.

"Now we are excited to work with 发射场 to move us into our next phase of development. 有了新的资金，我们将优化我们的服务和基础设施，以实现稳定的增长，同时投资于继续取悦我们的客户并推动划线前进的技术。 We especially look forward to the benefits of partnering with an organization with such advising and mentoring expertise here in our backyard," said McGuire.
