CommonSpirit Health was formed by the alignment of Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health. With more than 700 care sites across the U.S., from clinics and hospitals to home-based care and virtual care services, CommonSpirit is accessible to nearly one out of every four U.S. residents. Our world needs compassion like never before. Our communities need caring and our families need protection. With our combined resources, CommonSpirit is committed to building healthy communities, advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable, and innovating how and where healing can happen, both inside our hospitals and out in the community.
As our Utilization Review RN, you will play a pivotal role in optimizing healthcare delivery by ensuring medical necessity and appropriate patient status throughout the hospitalization journey. You will serve as a clinical expert, collaborating with attending physicians, consultants, and care coordination teams to apply evidence-based guidelines—such as MCG or InterQual—to facilitate seamless patient care transitions. Your expertise in managed care environments and CMS standards will be essential in navigating payer requirements, preventing claim denials, and upholding the high-quality standards of our health system.
Every day you will perform comprehensive admission and concurrent stay reviews to validate the clinical necessity of care, ensuring every patient interaction is documented with precision. You will engage in proactive denial prevention strategies, coordinate peer-to-peer reviews between providers and insurance payers, and communicate critical status updates to stakeholders. By balancing clinical data analysis with professional communication, you will ensure our facility remains compliant with regulatory agencies and Joint Commission standards while supporting the overall progression of care for our diverse patient population.
To be successful in this role, you will hold an active Registered Nurse (RN) license in NE or IA and possess at least two years of acute hospital clinical experience. We are seeking a detail-oriented professional with a strong grasp of utilization management programs, excellent time management skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, self-directed environment. Proficiency in clinical criteria application, a collaborative mindset, and a commitment to our organizational mission and core values are required to succeed as a key member of our utilization management team.
