Opportunities exist for registered nurses to conduct utilization reviews on a part-time basis from a remote location. These roles, often advertised on job boards such as SimplyHired, involve assessing the medical necessity and appropriateness of healthcare services. For example, a nurse might review a patient’s medical records to determine if a hospital stay aligns with established clinical guidelines.
Such positions offer registered nurses increased flexibility and work-life balance while allowing them to leverage their clinical expertise in a non-traditional setting. Historically, utilization review was primarily conducted on-site within hospitals or insurance companies. The advent of secure electronic health records and improved communication technologies has facilitated the growth of remote utilization review roles, expanding opportunities for nurses nationwide.
