URAC Core 37 -- v. 2.1 revision

In its revision of Core 37, URAC has modified the requirements for its "error reduction/consumer safety" project.  There are two changes to note.  First, v. 2.1 adds "for the population served" to subsection (b), so that it now reads:

At any given time, the organization maintains no less than two quality improvement projects . . . (b) At least one quality improvement project focuses on error reduction and/or consumer safety for the population served. 

(Boldface indicates new language)

Presumably, this is to make sure that the applicant's submitted QIP under this subsection provides benefit that is focused on the consumers served by the module under review, and not  the public at large.

The second change that v. 2.1 makes to Core 37 is in subsection (b)(i), and is completely technical, spelling out the names of the accreditation modules that must submit consumer safet QIPs, as opposed to giving their initials ("Health Utilization Management" vs. "HUM").  

Like URAC, I appreciate clarity and am happy to sacrifice brevity on its altar on occasion.
