URAC, https://urac.org the recognized leader in digital health and pharmacy accreditation, has launched a new partnership with The Center for Telehealth and e-Health Law (CTeL), https://telehealth.org, an independent legal and regulatory telehealth research institute.
The partnership works to connect CTeL’s members with URAC’s accreditation offerings to lead to better safety, security, and outcomes for telehealth patients.
The new partnership provides CTeL members with special discounted pricing for URAC Accreditation including Telehealth Accreditation, as well as a discount for URAC accredited organizations when they participate in CTeL’s online learning program.
Jeffrey Carr, URAC VP, Business Development said, “We share with CTeL the belief that telehealth can help overcome challenges in healthcare, including access to care and importantly barriers to receiving mental healthcare.”
“We are thrilled to partner with URAC,” said CTeL Executive Director Christa Natoli, “Telehealth has been pivotal to healthcare access during the pandemic. But if we want to keep telehealth available and expand access, we need to address concerns from policymakers about quality, overuse, and fraud.”
URAC and CTeL are holding an interactive Webinar on Tuesday March 9 at 4pm Eastern to share reflections on how telehealth policy has shifted with the surge in telehealth usage due to the COVID-19 pandemic. URAC and CTeL leaders will share insights about the temporary updates to telehealth policies and the challenges to enacting long term policies on telehealth usage.
