Job Description

The purpose of a Clinical Informatics Specialist (CIS or Medical Scribe) at Oak Street Health is to support our primary care providers with clinical documentation so that they can focus on providing exceptional care to our patients. Scribes assist providers throughout the patient care journey - huddling each morning to plan for the day's visits, joining them in the exam room to observe and document, and touching base after the visit to assist with next steps. Beyond the typical Scribe role, these important care team members serve as clinical documentation assistants to their paired provider. Internally, we call them CISs (Clinic Informatics Specialists) in recognition of their important role in supporting accurate, specific, and timely clinical documentation. In addition to observing and documenting all patient encounters in real time, our Scribes become experts in our value-based care model and the documentation and care of chronic conditions, including ICD-10 and CPT coding. Scribes use this expertise to help providers identify and help close care gaps. Scribes receive extensive on-the-job training in clinical workflows, value-based medicine, preventative care for chronic conditions, accurate and specific documentation, population health data streams, and team based care. Because our patients and providers rely on our Scribes, the ideal candidate should commit at least 1-2 years to this role. This is an excellent opportunity for pre-med track individuals looking to gain practical, paid experience in a clinical setting before applying to an MD/DO/PA/NP program, as well as those pursuing careers in Health Informatics, Public Health, Healthcare Administration, Medical Coding, and other related fields. Responsibilities include documenting patient encounters (~80%), clinical documentation improvement (~10%), and administrative support (~10%). Candidates should have knowledge of medical terminology and common medications, prior clinical experience preferred, advanced listening and communication skills, strong computer literacy, fluency in certain languages where indicated, ability to adapt to new workflows, type 70+ wpm preferred, ability to work full time in-person, and US work authorization. The position offers a pay range of $17.00 - $34.15 per hour and includes benefits such as medical plans, 401(k), employee stock purchase plan, wellness programs, paid time off, and more.
