My kid's pediatrician has a guy that does this. The job title was "Scribe." A little bit crowded in the exam room but you get used to it.

The Scribe had a laptop and could look up whatever info was needed while the doc was doing his thing. If a scrip is needed the scribe types it in to the system and then the doc had to read it and approve.

Just keeping the docs hands clean from not having to touch a dirty laptop/iPad all the time has a health benefit I bet.
