Job Description

Oak Street Health is a leading primary care provider dedicated to transforming healthcare for older adults on Medicare. The organization is committed to personalized, high-quality care that focuses on keeping patients healthy and enabling them to live life to the fullest. With over 150 locations and rapid expansion plans, Oak Street Health has cultivated a strong culture centered around its core values, promoting inclusivity, dependability, and a team-oriented approach to healthcare. Oak Street Health's innovative care model is deeply embedded in local communities, emphasizing quality of care rather than volume of services, and is driven by a passionate workforce focused on making a measurable impact on patient outcomes. Joining Oak Street Health means being part of a mission-focused organization dedicated to rebuilding healthcare as it should be, fostering an environment where every employee is valued and empowered to grow.

The role of a Medical Scribe at Oak Street Health is critical in supporting primary care providers with clinical documentation, allowing providers to concentrate fully on delivering exceptional patient care. Medical Scribes, also known as Clinic Informatics Specialists (CISs), work closely with providers throughout the patient's care journey, including participating in morning huddles to prepare for daily visits, accompanying providers during patient exams, and assisting with post-visit documentation and care coordination. This role requires a deep understanding of clinical workflows, value-based care, and chronic disease management, including proficiency with ICD-10 and CPT coding used in healthcare documentation. Medical Scribes contribute significantly to clinical documentation accuracy and specificity, which are vital for quality care and closing care gaps.

This full-time position offers a competitive hourly pay range typically between $17.00 and $25.65, with eligibility for additional bonuses and incentives. The Medical Scribe role is ideal for individuals on a pre-medical track aiming to gain practical clinical experience before pursuing advanced medical degrees such as MD, DO, PA, or NP programs. It also suits those pursuing careers in Health Informatics, Public Health, Healthcare Administration, or Medical Coding. Oak Street Health provides extensive on-the-job training covering clinical workflows, population health management, preventative care strategies, and team-based care models. Prospective candidates should expect to commit at least 1-2 years to this vital role. The work schedule consists of approximately 40 hours per week with predictable hours and breaks during clinic operations.

Oak Street Health values adaptability, strong communication skills, and technical proficiency as essential attributes for Medical Scribes. Candidates will engage in various duties including real-time documentation of patient encounters, clinical documentation improvements, and administrative support for their paired providers and care teams. The role requires excellent attendance, ability to work in-person within clinics, and compliance with all healthcare policies including HIPAA. Speaking additional languages such as Spanish, Polish, or Russian is an asset, especially when connecting with diverse community members served by the organization.

By joining Oak Street Health as a Medical Scribe, professionals contribute to creating a seamless, compassionate, and patient-centric healthcare environment. The company offers a comprehensive benefits package including health, vision, dental insurance, paid time off, retirement savings options, and educational stipends, underscoring its commitment to employees' well-being and career growth. Oak Street Health encourages diverse applicants and fosters a workplace where every individual can thrive and be part of a bigger mission to simplify healthcare, one patient, one family, and one community at a time.
