NU Online News Service, Aug. 1, 11:11 a.m. – URAC, Washington, a health care accreditation group, has released a draft of its new Credentials Verification Organization Standards.
Members of the public can comment on the draft until Sept. 13.
If adopted, the new standards will affect the accreditation process for organizations that check the qualifications of doctors and other professionals who participate in managed-care provider networks.
URAC says the new version of the program uses more specific language to describe the standards and will require evaluators to give applicants more feedback about their applications.
