What you'll do
You write quality scenarios that run from an event report through to a corrective action plan, write reference answers with the methodology behind each analysis, and grade AI output for methodological rigor and regulatory accuracy. The flagging task is analyses that look thorough but would miss the systemic cause, a familiar trap in root cause analysis.
Who fits
- A clinical license (RN or similar) or CPHQ certification
- At least 2 years in healthcare quality, patient safety or performance improvement
- Depth in quality measures, root cause analysis or accreditation readiness
- Clear written English for documenting findings and improvement plans
- A commitment of at least 10 hours a week
Preferred: CPHQ, CPPS or Lean Six Sigma certification, Joint Commission, CMS or state survey experience, and HEDIS, star ratings or registry abstraction work. The form optionally asks for a CPHQ certificate and a nursing license.
What it pays
The ad states $80 to $120 per hour, paid weekly via Stripe, with the rate set from experience. The board headlines $100/hr. The terms are a 10-hour weekly minimum with no maximum, fully async hours, no screen recording, keystroke monitoring or idle timers, and independent contractor status.
How hiring works
Five steps: a five-minute application (resume plus structured questions), a resume review against a published rubric, a possible written assessment, onboarding (contractor agreement, Stripe, platform access) and a project match, usually within a week.
Worth knowing
Good:
- Open to non-clinical quality staff with a CPHQ, not only nurses
- Weekly Stripe pay with no monitoring software
- A solid band for a role that rarely appears remotely
Less good:
- A licence or CPHQ is required
- A 10-hour weekly minimum
- Assessment is described by AfterQuery's help centre as unpaid and single-attempt
