CEO Jennifer Wester Weighs In on State and Federal Requirements for URAC Accreditation


      


                                                                             

 Jennifer Wester, CEO and Lead Consultant of ARETE Healthcare Solutions, weighs in on the Federal and State Laws that Reference or Require URAC Accreditation.

While not all states require URAC accreditation, it does appear to be a growing trend as evidenced by the mounting compendium list.

This URAC compendium lists the federal and state laws/regulations that reference or require the use of certification/accreditation.

Because of this monumental trend, Arete wants you to be ahead of the curve to attain URAC Accreditation.

Why?
It may be to comply with a statute or regulation. Or, it might be your desire to demonstrate a level of excellence and a commitment to quality that will set you apart from the competition.

Do you need a consultant?
Good question! Every organization has a unique set of circumstances and varied resources.

ü Take the Consultant Readiness Quiz:

Ask yourself:

1) Do we have a team dedicated to the URAC accreditation process? The accreditation process can be very involved and require:

·         Work plan development
·         Scheduling meetings
·         Oversight of document and program development
·         Ensure the requisite structures are in place to support the program
·         Application submission (Desk Top Review Materials)
·         Validation review preparation (Onsite or Virtual Review to ensure operations align with the P&P's and documentation submitted for the Desk Top Review).

Arete Healthcare Solutions is a one-stop shop to guide you through every step of the accreditation process. Our eagle eyes will ensure no details are glossed over.

2) Do we have staff with the right skill set to develop:

·         P&P's
·         Regulatory compliance
·         Quality oversight
·         Quality committee

Jennifer Wester, CEO and Lead Consultant, has worked as an RN and has first-hand experience working for URAC as Accreditation Reviewers. We have the experience, knowledge and the tools to put you at ease and take the stress out of accreditation. 

3) Do we have a project manager to assure all goals and milestones are met?
