Experienced registered nurse specializing in utilization review and wound/ostomy care.
What I'm looking for
I am a registered nurse with 15 years of clinical experience, focused on utilization review, wound care, and ostomy management. I currently work remotely as a Utilization Review RN for a large hospital system, applying MCG and InterQual criteria to ensure appropriate inpatient care and maintain authorizations.
Throughout my career I have managed outpatient wound centers, provided hospice and home care case management, and supported clinic operations. I hold certifications in wound care, KCI wound VAC, hyperbaric oxygen therapy training, and ostomy management, and I have led policy development, nursing education, and shared-governance initiatives.
I seek to leverage my clinical judgment, authorization expertise, and care-coordination skills to optimize utilization, improve patient outcomes, and support cost-effective, high-quality care delivery in a utilization review or case management role.
