Case management services are one of the fastest-growing practice areas in healthcare today. Healthcare organizations use case management to better meet patients’ needs and improve their treatment outcomes by coordinating the full continuum of care. URAC is the only accreditation organization offering standards that specifically address the rapidly evolving field of case management. URAC has accredited hundreds of organizations that provide all types of case management services in both health and workers’ compensation settings – helping ensure that their case management offerings are of the highest quality. URAC designed the standards to fit organizations that provide telephonic or onsite case management services in conjunction with a privately or publicly funded benefits program across settings and specialties. Accreditation or certification is available depending on the type of organization and services being offered. The URAC standards cover several critical operational categories for any quality case management program including: Staff Structure & Organization Staff Management & Development Information Management Quality Improvement Oversight of Delegated Functions Organizational Ethics Complaints Don’t miss your chance to explore shared best practices in the practical applications of URAC accreditation standards.
