Our accreditation process creates a framework for continuous improvement

We purposely designed our accreditation approach to be collaborative. It facilitates learning and continuous quality improvement in your organization. While we set the standards, we don't dictate how they are achieved. This flexibility encourages and supports innovation by your team. All URAC health care accreditations are independently validated ensuring the highest standards of care.

URAC’s accreditation process can take as little as six months or less. It really depends on how readily available you have your documentation.

We understand how important accreditation is to your company. This is why we do our best to keep the process moving as efficiently as possible. We continuously seek to streamline the process, while maintaining the same high standards for accreditation.

Rest assured, you will not be going through this process alone. A dedicated Client Relations Manager will be by your side throughout the process to help guide you to a successful outcome.
