What I'm looking for

I’m eager to leverage my remote record review and hearings experience to support accurate clinical documentation, HIPAA-compliant processes, and reliable code assignment and medical necessity assessments, while collaborating with healthcare teams to maintain record integrity.

I’m a detail-oriented Registered Nurse with over 10 years of experience in clinical documentation, medical record review, and patient care planning. I focus on the quality, completeness, accuracy, and integrity of medical record documentation, partnering closely with healthcare teams and physicians to ensure appropriate clinical documentation.

I’m experienced in HIPAA-compliant practices, supporting code assignment and medical necessity assessments, and working in remote record review environments. From my precertification role to staff RN positions in the Operating Room and Trauma/Intermediate Care, I’ve consistently supported patient safety, clear documentation, and effective collaboration—values I’m eager to bring to remote appeals review and hearings at Gainwell Technologies.
