UnitedHealthcare Clinical Services (UCS) conducts medical management activities for commercial and government business.. The majority of these activities are concentrated in inpatient review and appropriate inpatient utilization, although depending upon location and products covered, functions such as pre-certification and other traditional utilization management activities may be performed. The UCS medical director is part of a national organization and team, and will collaborate with UCS peers, market medical directors and others from across the country. In response to customer need and expectation, UnitedHealthcare is continuously modifying its programs and approaches. Although not a primary job function, medical directors with the interest in doing so often have the opportunity to be involved with change design and management.

?UnitedHealthcare?s care management approach is data driven, and grounded in the use and application of evidence based medicine (EBM) and guidelines. The successful UCS medical director appreciates and understands data, is a champion of and is very conversant with evidence-based medicine, and uses nationally recognized clinical guidelines to teach and direct clinical staff, as well as engage the practicing community in discussions designed to result in individual patients receiving the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
