What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my nursing expertise in utilization management while contributing to patient care improvements and healthcare efficiency.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with extensive experience in utilization management, currently working at the Visiting Nurses Association in Vero Beach, FL. My role involves conducting thorough utilization reviews for home health care and hospice admissions, ensuring that patients receive the appropriate level of care while maintaining compliance with managed care organizations.

Previously, I served as a Utilization Management Nurse at Sebastian River Medical Center, where I collaborated with healthcare teams to identify high-risk diagnoses and develop targeted strategies for Medicare Advantage plans. My commitment to improving healthcare processes has led to the establishment of streamlined review procedures that enhance efficiency and patient outcomes.
