Does anyone know anything about the company EDS?

I was offered an Utilization Review positon with the state Medicaid office. I was wondering if any one could give me any knowledge they would have on this positon. Thanks

Will someone please tell me the difference in these two positions?

Wanting to move. I was wondering where the nurses work in Arkansas. What type of positon? etc.
