So the new gimmick for the UR nurses is to hire bedside nurses with no experience in casemanagememt or utilization review, skim over what is required for the job and lie to the individual about what is required. So 16 to 22 reviews, no lunches , a hurried break, stay overtime , listen to a psychotic manager who is only interested in the metrics so she can get a big bonus, hide your head under a rock and pretend you don’t see all the what could be considered frau:;(, work overtime and listen to everyone tell you your burned out in 6 months cause you don’t know how to be productive and organize your time and work for a fraction of what you make at other companies and hospitals.

Someone just posted in one of my Facebook groups that a hospital is laying off UR Nurses. They are being replaced with AI.
@dk wellmed laid off like all your UR LVN ‘s yesterday. Guess they are ran like that.’
Honestly I feel like all health insurance loves hiring people with minimum requirements and little to no experience. Then they can pay you the minimum amount and won’t know what your position is supposed to be like because you’ve never done this job before.
@dk Optum is ran this way. And if you are not it just a matter of time. What’s interesting is the nurses who have come over from Well Med paint a very different picture of the enviroment claiming it to be hostile at best and productivity to be required through the roof.
@be WM UM isn’t ran this way. I know bc work there. there’s no requirement for reviews completed in a day, good lord, get in a public form and just lie. We just now stopped the case management part. My manager hasn’t said anything about metrics.
I think I know who your manager is. They are fixated on metrics to look good because their VP is not clinical and has no clue what happens on the ground level. They have a projected plan to use more AI bots and cut team members, they brag about all the time. If you speak up or question the boss then Fido gets mad and they act like your lucky to have a job
Are you with wellmed UM? Sounds like where I work. Im waiting for the meeting to appear.
Then dont take the job and optum has to deal with the churn and constant turnover until they change. If not oh well.
Hummm... BTW that area is prime candidate for AI automation
