Role Description
The purpose of a 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
-
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:
-
Value-based care model
-
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. They 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
-
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
