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:Documenting Patient Encounters ~ 80%Joining the provider in the exam room to observe patient visitsDocumenting patient encounters in a structured note, including the history of the present illness, assessment, plan, and physical examAssigning appropriate CPT and ICD-10 codesPreparing After Visit SummariesConsulting with provider to ensure accurate and specific documentationClinical Documentation Improvement ~ 10%Requesting and reviewing medical recordsLeveraging Oak Street's population health tools to support clinical documentation improvementPreparing for and supporting Daily Huddles and Clinical Documentation ReviewsConsulting with provider on clinical documentation opportunitiesAdministrative support for your provider and care team ~ 10%Placing orders and referralsAddressing tasksSupporting the care team with additional responsibilities related to clinical documentationOther duties as assignedWhat we're looking forKnowledgeKnowledge of medical terminology and common medications, either from a pre-medical degree or prior clinical experience [required]Prior clinical experience, including shadowing and/or volunteering [strongly preferred]Prior scribe or transcription experience [preferred but not required]SkillsAdvanced listening and communication skills [required]Strong computer literacy and ability to learn new technical workflows [required]AbilitiesAbility to adapt to new workflows and to quickly learn new concepts and skills [required]Ability to type 70+ words per minute [strongly preferred]Ability and willingness to take direction and be a member of a team providing patient care, including adapting to the provider's working style [required]Ability to be a self-starter within your role scopeExcellent job attendance including ability to work in-person in our clinics (Our providers count on you.)
