Accreditation
Several accreditation options are available to health care organizations. Managed care organizations can select from NCQA, URAC, or AAAHC. These accreditation standards seek to ensure customers receive quality care and service. Quality improvement requirements incorporate the use of standard measures of performance such as HEDIS and CAPHS.
Since 1994 we have facilitated over 70 organizations to achieve successful accreditation and improve their HEDIS/CAPHS scores, ultimately improving service to customers. We also translate accreditation and regulatory compliance requirements into business processes and integrate them into the organization in order to avoid layers of processes and redundancy.
