SUMMARY:Let’s Talk Techquity: Addressing Specialized Population Needs through Digital Health
DESCRIPTION:Telehealth has always been a way for more people to receive care and helps address issues of health inequities. It allows people in rural populations to reach providers\, addresses scheduling challenges for working families and strengthens interprofessional connections for better patient care. However\, there’s still much work to do to meet the needs of some specific populations. \nIn this webinar\, URAC-accredited organizations Children’s National Hospital\, AbleTo\, and Texas Tech University share how they are working to improve the quality of and access to care for children\, people experiencing mental health challenges\, and incarcerated individuals. We’ll explore the needs of niche populations and look at how innovation in digital health can make an impact in addressing and alleviating systemic issues of health equity. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nParticipants will be able to state how telehealth allows for better care for specialized populations.\nParticipants will be able to reiterate how the use of telehealth can have a positive effect on addressing and alleviating systemic issues of health equity.\nParticipants will be able to explain the importance of data collection in tracking outcomes of digital health encounters.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nCarrie Culpepper\, RN\, FNP-C – Chief Nursing and Quality Officer for Managed Care\, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center\nSarah Gaffey\, LCSW – Vice President\, Clinical & Coaching Service Delivery\, AbleTo/Optum Behavioral Care\nShawn Griffin\, MD – President and CEO\, URAC\nTejal Raichura\, MHA – Director of Telemedicine\, Children’s National

SUMMARY:Writing Policy and Procedure Documents: Practical Tips for URAC Accreditation Success
DESCRIPTION:Is your organization considering a URAC accreditation but finding yourselves stuck on writing policies and procedures\n \nIf so\, the URAC team is here to help. In this webinar\, we review why policies and procedures are important to an organization\, the basics of writing P&Ps that work for your organization and what URAC looks for in policies and procedures you submit as part of your accreditation application. \nDownload the Webinar Slides\nQuestions from the webinars and their answers\nHow often are organizations required to update their policies to maintain compliance with URAC standards?\nURAC standards require a review of policies and processes at least every 36 months.\n\n  \nWhat elements are absolutely required as sections in a company procedure? I've seen differences between organizations. Examples: Objective\, Responsibility\, Scope\, Process\, Approvals\, Revision #\, Revision History.\nOrganizations should use a policy template that includes elements that are meaningful to their organization. There are many templates online that can be used as a model. At a minimum the following should be included to comply with URAC standards: effective dates\, review dates\, revision dates and identification of approval authority.\n\n  \nWhat's the best method for organizations with multiple accrediting organizations? Is it better for pharmacies to have the same policy but with versions that have language matching the accrediting body or have one policy that reflects the organization’s needs?\nFirst and foremost\, policies and procedures should document an organization’s rules of conduct and guide standardization of the staff’s daily operational activities. Secondarily\, policies and procedures may be used to demonstrate compliance with accreditation or regulatory standards. It is best practice to maintain one set of policies and procedures versus multiple. This promotes understanding and utilization of these important documents.\n\n  \nWhen URAC standards change (from one version to another) and an organization updates policies\, when should they implement the revised policy?\nOrganizations should maintain compliance with the program standards they are currently accredited under until they submit their reaccreditation application. URAC expects compliance with the revised standards as of the date the reaccreditation application for the new program version is submitted.\n\n  \nIf an organization uses a vendor for claims adjudication\, can they submit their policies as-is? Or do they need to rewrite them verbatim in the company’s template?\nIf an organization delegates a function within the scope of the accreditation\, the organization is responsible for ensuring the vendor complies with URAC standards. During the accreditation review process\, URAC will review how the organization conducts oversight of the vendor to ensure compliance with URAC standards. URAC will not review the specific policies and procedures of the vendor. As such\, an organization who delegates a function does not need to submit policies and procedures specific to that function to URAC on Desktop Review. Rather the organization can upload documentation indicating the function is delegated.

SUMMARY:Pharmacy Hot Take: Tracking Your Clinical Intervention Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Specialty pharmacies play a critical role in tracking how patients respond to medications by monitoring adverse reactions and adherence rates. When a medication isn’t working well for a patient because\, for example\, it’s causing nausea or a patient can’t take it at a specific time\, specialty pharmacists conduct clinical interventions by working with providers to change the dosage\, timing or prescription to improve adherence. \nIn this short webinar\, Heather Bonome\, PharmD\, URAC’s Director of Pharmacy and Jennifer Donovan\, PharmD\, Vice President for Clinical Services at Shields Health Solutions share why tracking the outcomes of your clinical interventions matter\, how to get started tracking outcomes and how URAC’s updated specialty pharmacy accreditation is leading the efforts to show why tracking these results matter. \nClick to Download the Webinar Slides
