Utilization review (UR) nurses are a strategic asset that helps health plans with quality control and managing expenses, ensuring patients receive appropriate care while reducing the costs of unnecessary procedures and prolonged hospital stays. With their knowledge of patient care, treatments and medication, and hospital procedures, UR nurses are well-qualified to make informed decisions about criteria-based standards.
Leading health plans are implementing UR nurse strategies through outsourced solutions customized to their needs.
