Hospital’s Latest Status Symbol: Utilization Managers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Utilization managers (UMs) have long served as a resource for clinicians determining the appropriate patient status.
Key considerations include which clinicians are involved, how communication occurs, and how status orders are entered.
Because these processes can vary widely, it is essential to understand what is compliant, what carries risk, and what is simply not allowed.
That’s why it’s essential to stay current on the latest developments in utilization management.
So, listen and learn when special guest Dr. Juliet B. Urgarte Hopkins, chief medical officer for Phoenix Medical Management discusses the role of utilization managers.
