URAC Core 6 -- v. 2.1 Proposed Revision


The proposed new Core 6 would read:

The organization implements a policy to: (---)
(a) Verify the current licensure and credentials of licensed or certified personnel/consultants upon hire, and thereafter no less than every 3 years; (Wt = M)
(b) Require staff to notify organization in a timely manner of an adverse change in licensure or certification status; and (Wt = M)
(c) Implement corrective action in response to adverse changes in licensure or certification status. (Wt = M)

There is no proposed change in the content of the standard, so scoring is the only change.  Realistically, this is exactly the kind of standard that is unaffected by the new scoring system.  The reason is that the current version is already mandatory, and each of the three elements is a "primary" element.  So, under both the current and proposed versions of this standard, if you miss one element, you've blown your shot at full accreditation.  

So, no change here.
