As a leading player in the healthcare industry, Oak Street Health focuses on improving patient outcomes and simplifying access to health services within community-based clinics. The organization’s mission is to build healthier communities by leveraging technology and a compassionate care approach, making healthcare more connected, convenient, and effective for every patient.

The company is deeply invested in fostering a culture of accountability, safety, and quality, ensuring that every team member feels valued and empowered to contribute to better health outcomes for patients and communities.

Within this innovative healthcare setting, Oak Street Health is seeking dedicated Medical Scribes, also known as Clinical Informatics Specialists (CIS), to join their care teams. This role is vital in supporting primary care providers by managing clinical documentation accurately and efficiently, allowing providers to concentrate on delivering top-tier patient care. Unlike traditional medical scribes, these Clinical Informatics Specialists not only document detailed patient encounters but also become experts in value-based care models and population health strategies. They assist with chronic condition management, including precise ICD-10 and CPT coding, which is crucial for meeting quality care standards and closing care gaps. Medical Scribes at Oak Street Health undergo extensive training that covers clinical workflows, preventative care practices, population health data, and collaborative team care. This comprehensive education ensures that Medical Scribes are instrumental in enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of clinical documentation, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes. This role is designed as a full-time position requiring approximately 40 hours per week, with a salary range between $17.00 and $34.15 per hour, depending on experience and other factors. This range includes eligibility for bonuses and short-term incentives through CVS Health. The Medical Scribe position is particularly well-suited for individuals pursuing careers in medicine, health informatics, public health, healthcare administration, and other related fields. Candidates with a pre-medical background or clinical experience will find this an excellent opportunity to gain real-world, paid clinical experience while contributing meaningfully to a healthcare team. This role emphasizes the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and strong communication skills, as Medical Scribes work closely with providers during patient visits, participate in daily planning huddles, and support follow-up care processes. The position requires a minimum commitment of 1 to 2 years, making it ideal for individuals seeking depth of experience before advancing their healthcare careers.
