Yes, there are two that come to mind.
One caveat, the pay is greatly reduced as compared to working in a hospital (I checked, but more for myself).
One type of job is an "Abstractor". This nurse is responsible for auditing charts for specific information. One example, I'm a perinatal quality review nurse. That means I have to report to CMS, Joint Comission etc, stats on certain metrics. A simple one is-was baby solely breastfed during the hospital stay? While this might sound easy to figure out, it's not. EHR are a nightmare of rabbit holes, compartments and fragments. The abstractor needs to be able to reliably determine answers to these questions. Then, part of my job is to re-abstract and verify the abstractors work (but just a sample). The company that we work with is called Q-centrix, or Quantros. I'm super ignorant about the machinations of them as a company other than I know the abstractors work from home. And they make about $20/hr here in California.
Another job I'm aware of is an Advice Nurse. They generally work from home and typically follow a script. They typically need licenses in multiple states, as they generally work for insurance companies who have customers around the country. The company I checked into was paying about $25/hr. This was a while ago, and I don't remember it's name. But putting "Nurse jobs work at home" in as a search should be a good start.
