Regence BlueShield awarded Case Management accreditation from URAC
 Regence BlueShield has been awarded full accreditation for Case Management from URAC, an independent, nonprofit health care accrediting organization that establishes quality standards for the health care industry.
URAC's Case Management accreditation standards address approaches to ensuring that appropriate patient protections have been established, such as policies for confidentiality of patient information, informed consent, dispute resolution and other issues. The standards cover staff structure and qualifications, quality improvement, information management, oversight of delegated functions, ethics, complaints, and the case management process.
Regence also has URAC accreditation for its wellness programs.
URAC's standards keep pace with the rapid changes in the health care system and provide a mark of distinction for health care organizations to demonstrate their commitment to quality and accountability.
"By applying for and receiving Case Management accreditation, Regence BlueShield has demonstrated a commitment to quality health care," said Alan P. Spielman, URAC president and CEO. "Quality health care is crucial to our nation's welfare and it is important to have organizations that are willing to measure themselves against national standards."
We're honored to receive the URAC Accreditation for Case Management standards. Now more than ever, individuals and businesses want to ensure they are receiving the highest quality programs and services for their health care dollar.
