Empowering Better Outcomes With Accreditation
Hospital-at-home programs deliver hospital-level acute care in a patient’s home through coordinated clinical services, continuous monitoring and structured care protocols. Health systems, payers and regulators are expanding these models to improve patient experience, reduce costs and increase access to care.
As care moves beyond the hospital walls, organizations must demonstrate that services delivered in the home meet the same standards of safety, oversight and quality expected in a traditional hospital setting.
URAC accreditation provides independent validation that the services supporting hospital-at-home programs meet rigorous standards for quality, accountability and patient protection. Organizations can combine multiple URAC accreditation programs to build a comprehensive framework supporting safe, effective hospital-at-home care.
Telehealth
Telehealth enables physicians and care teams to assess patients, monitor conditions and deliver clinical oversight remotely. URAC Telehealth Accreditation verifies that virtual care programs maintain appropriate clinical protocols, privacy protections and quality monitoring.
Health Care AI
Artificial intelligence increasingly supports clinical decision support, utilization management and patient monitoring in hospital-at-home programs. URAC Health Care AI Accreditation validates governance, oversight and monitoring processes that support responsible AI use.
Community Health Worker
Community health workers help connect patients with community resources, support care plans and address social drivers of health. URAC Community Health Worker Program Accreditation validates workforce training, program governance and quality oversight.
Case Management
Hospital-at-home programs require strong coordination across providers, services and transitions of care. URAC Case Management Accreditation recognizes organizations that demonstrate structured care coordination, patient engagement and effective resource management.
Home Infusion
Many hospital-at-home programs depend on infusion therapies delivered in the home. URAC accreditation verifies that infusion providers maintain appropriate clinical standards, patient safety protocols and medication management practices.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote Patient Monitoring allows providers to track patient status continuously outside the hospital. URAC accreditation validates that RPM programs maintain reliable monitoring systems, escalation protocols and clinical oversight to support safe care at home.
Why URAC?
With more than 35 years of experience accrediting organizations across the health care ecosystem, URAC accreditation helps organizations demonstrate accountability, strengthen care delivery and build trust with regulators, partners and patients.
URAC’s accreditation programs provide a structured framework for organizations implementing hospital-at-home programs to ensure the services supporting care in the home meet high standards for quality, safety and oversight.
