About The Position

The Medical Scribe, referred to internally at Oak Street Health as a Clinical Informatics Specialist (CIS), supports primary care providers by handling clinical documentation so providers can focus on patient care.

Scribes document encounters in real time and help ensure documentation is accurate, specific, and timely. Scribes develop expertise in Oak Street Health’s value-based care model, chronic-condition documentation, ICD-10 and CPT coding, and identifying care gaps. The role includes extensive on-the-job training in clinical workflows, value-based medicine, preventive care for chronic conditions, population health data, accurate documentation, and team-based care. The position is intended for someone able to commit at least one year, with two or more years considered ideal. It is a full-time, in-person clinic role of approximately 40–45 hours per week during clinic hours, with predictable hours and breaks.
