Health Record Transcription jobs

About the Position

Our specialist medical clinic is seeking a reliable, organized, and detail-oriented part-time Medical Office Assistant to work closely with the physician in a fully remote work-from-home role.

This is a permanent employee position.

The position offers considerable scheduling flexibility. While some responsibilities must be completed during regular business hours, much of the administrative work can be completed at times that best fit your schedule. Workload varies depending on clinic volume, with some weeks requiring fewer hours and others requiring slightly more.

Although this is a remote position, applicants must reside in the Greater Vancouver area, as occasional in-person meetings (approximately 1–2 times per month) are required for training, workflow review, and quality improvement.

A clinic computer will be provided.

Prepare physician charts before clinic by:

• Reviewing referrals, consultation notes, laboratory results, imaging reports, and other medical documents
• Identifying clinically relevant information

Chart preparation follows strict deadlines. Patient charts are generally expected to be completed at least two weeks before the scheduled clinic date, so applicants must demonstrate strong time management skills and avoid leaving work until the last minute.

Patient Intake

• Contact patients by telephone when online intake forms have not been completed

Patient phone calls are generally completed during normal business hours.
