Top 100 Hospitals Hiring Medical Scribes in the USA (Complete 2025 Directory)
If you want interviews fast, target hospitals already scaling scribe teams and prove you move notes, not just type them. Start by scanning medical scribe job growth, compare states in the salary comparison tool, and read the newest employment report. Then sharpen compliance with HIPAA essentials and raise documentation accuracy so coders love your charts.
Why these 100 hospitals (and how to turn the list into interviews)
This directory prioritizes large systems, academic medical centers, high-volume EDs, and networked community hospitals—places that hire scribes in cohorts and retain them as they move into advanced roles. Use the list like a pipeline, not a map. Start with a region you can work in, filter by the specialties you want, and then pre-build note skeletons that match the service lines at those hospitals. For a quick market read, check top cities hiring, and if you need flexibility, compare options in the remote market outlook.
Next, tune your throughput. Trim clicks using techniques from appointment efficiency and manage bottlenecks with patient-flow strategies. If your target ED is chaotic, practice crisp handoffs with telephone etiquette and zero-miss questioning with active listening. To keep charts coder-ready, drill ICD-10 coding, revisit billing basics, and avoid the top billing errors.
Finally, make safety automatic. Refresh privacy best practices, tighten devices with EMR security habits, and standardize unit rules using policy & procedure tools. All of this stacks into measurable impact you can show a hiring manager with simple dashboards from performance metrics tools.

Note: Some multi-hospital systems are listed by flagship site; once hired, internal transfers commonly open across the network.
How to use this directory to land interviews fast
Start with three regions you can realistically work in (or commute to) and pick ten targets from the table. For each target, build a micro-portfolio: one page with your best throughput metrics, one with two de-identified note samples, and one with error-reduction wins. Validate note quality with the chart-audit guide, fold in coding practice, and show you protect PHI using HIPAA essentials. If you’re aiming at EDs, rehearse split-attention workflows with telephone etiquette and the active-listening toolkit.
Your pitch should quantify outcomes, not adjectives. Anchor claims in research on documentation accuracy and connect the dots to throughput and revenue using the hospital revenue analysis. Bring pay expectations that reflect local markets with the salary comparison tool, and if you prefer flexibility, target health systems with remote clinics by reading the remote market report.
Compensation, certification, and growth once you’re inside
Certification compresses onboarding and signals lower error risk. Map your plan with the ACMSO exam guide, avoid exam mistakes, and rehearse with real exam questions. The payoff shows up in the salary analysis comparing certified vs. non-certified scribes.
Beyond pay, growth favors people who reduce administrative drag for the team. Keep records clean with document-management platforms, automate repetitive steps via workflow tools, and coordinate tasks with team systems. For leadership tracks, learn unit rules through policy & procedure resources, maintain safe rooms with facility procedures, and reduce fatigue using office ergonomics.
2025 outlook: demand pockets, remote options, and where to bet your time
Demand follows volume, acuity, and reimbursement pressure. Expect heavy hiring at safety-net EDs, academic centers with large trainee cohorts, and systems integrating ambient documentation. Track your target cities using job growth maps and apply where the employment report shows multi-year expansion. If you want flexibility, monitor the remote scribe market, then calibrate pay with the salary tool. Whatever you choose, master the EMR and guard compliance—the scribe who saves minutes and protects data always wins.
FAQs — Hospitals hiring medical scribes (in-depth)
-
Lead with throughput: average minutes per note, percent of charts signed before end of shift, and coder queries per 100 encounters. Attach a micro-portfolio with a de-identified note and an audit walk-through using the chart-audit guide. Add one line on safety habits from HIPAA essentials and EMR security.
-
Apply to the system anyway. Most networks hire scribes centrally, then place them by site. Use policy & procedure tools to learn the language of unit rules, and show you reduce re-work by following patient-flow principles and appointment optimization.
-
Credentials de-risk you. Plan with the ACMSO exam guide, avoid exam mistakes, and practice with real questions. Use the salary analysis to anchor negotiations.
-
Show claim cleanliness. Track reduced documentation-related denials, fewer coder queries, and improved RVU capture—link these to the documentation accuracy report and the hospital’s outcomes in the revenue impact analysis. Leaders hire scribes who protect both time and dollars.
-
Expect layered oversight. Practice attending/resident workflows, co-sign logic, and trainees’ task routing. Use the EMR terminology guide to match vocabulary, then demonstrate empathy and clarity with the communication skills guide and the empathy playbook.
