URAC Core 12 -- v. 2.1 Proposed Revision


URAC is proposing no notable changes for Core 12, its "anti-silo" standard that encourages interdepartmental coordination.  The only change is the across-the-board scoring change:

The organization establishes and implements mechanisms to promote collaboration, coordination, and communication across disciplines and departments within the organization, with emphasis on integrating administrative activities, quality improvement, and where present, clinical operations. (Wt = 3)

As I explain elsewhere, as a single-element standard, the scoring change significantly decreases the relative importance of this standard, vis-a-vis multi-element standards.
