Excellent Health Outcomes Accreditation

Health care organizations are under growing pressure to improve outcomes, address barriers to care and demonstrate meaningful progress across populations.

• URAC’s Excellent Health Outcomes Accreditation provides an independent framework to help organizations:
• Reduce preventable disparities in care and outcomes
• Improve access to health care
• Strengthen organizational accountability
• Drive measurable improvement over time
• Develop replicable programs for various populations

URAC’s Excellent Health Outcomes Accreditation is available to organizations working to improve care delivery and outcomes across populations.

• Eligible organizations may include:
• Health plans and payers
• Hospitals and health systems
• Pharmacies
• Federally Qualified Health Centers
• Case management organizations
• Independent review organizations
• Utilization management organizations
• Other health care organizations committed to better outcomes

URAC designed its Excellent Health Outcomes Accreditation standards to help organizations:

• Promote compliance with regulatory requirements
• Align with evolving CMS priorities, including EHO4all
• Identify and address health disparities
• Improve outcomes

Throughout the accreditation process, organizations will identify opportunities within a population they serve, implement strategies to address barriers to care and measure progress over time. This practical model supports replicable, continuous improvement rather than one-time commitments.
