Must be able to recognize and gather all the information needed to make a determination, to synthesize and conceptualize this information, to reference applicable medical necessity standards and to ultimately and independently come to a determination about whether medical necessity is present. Must be able to accurately and concisely document the clinical information that does or does not support medical necessity and the reasoning that resulted in the ultimate determination.

May provide formal training to inpatient staff or other parties and may assist in training new QI Inpatient RNs. While performing reviews for medical necessity, the RN must also evaluate for potential Quality of Care (QOC) issues. QOC issues are present when suboptimal care is provided to a patient by inpatient staff members. This requires the RN to be knowledgeable about what constitutes appropriate care by all of the various disciplines providing care to the patient, including familiarity with regulatory standards and “best practice” standards. When the RN identifies a potential QOC issue, (s)he should consult with a QI Inpatient psychiatrist about what possible, if any, actions should be taken.

Every three years QI Inpatient is itself the subject of an audit by DHCS. The RN will prepare documents, data and presentations for this audit and will interact with the state auditors during their survey. May serve on various committees as directed by their supervisor, sometimes serving as chairperson. This may include participation on the Plan of Correction (POC) Committee which meets periodically to assure that relevant standards are met and documented in anticipation of the triennial DHCS audit. Will not provide any direct patient care in their role as a QI Inpatient nurse. However, it is necessary to have prior experience, preferably several years, working as an RN in a psychiatric inpatient facility. Any prior experience working in quality improvement, utilization management or case management is a plus, but not a requirement. The RN will report to the Manager of QI Inpatient.
