This is what medical scribes do - they follow providers around and write their notes for them... Scribes are not paid well enough (minimum wage) for it to become a real profession and most scribes are just trying to collect clinical hours ahead of applying to med school or PA school. When I was a scribe, our pay came directly out of the physicians pay so if they were making $100 per hour without a scribe, with a scribe they took home $85. I guess theoretically a physician could pay their scribe whatever they wanted to entice them to stick around longer than a year or two but I have never heard of this being done.
