UC Davis Health ranks as a top 10 performer in Performance Measurement

UC Davis Health was ranked as a 2020 top performer in the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission’s (URAC) Leaders in Performance Measurement (LPM) recognition program. URAC promotes healthcare quality and a framework for continuous improvement through the accreditation of organizations involved in medical care services, as well as by offering education and measurement programs.

URAC’s LPM awards program highlights accredited organizations that are effectively using performance measurements to improve the health and well-being of the populations they serve. The criteria for a top performer award include:

• URAC-accreditation in a specialty pharmacy or mail service pharmacy program
• Possesses “Full Accreditation” status
• Submits all mandatory measures
• Validates measurements through a URAC-approved vendor

UC Davis Health’s Specialty Pharmacy program was deemed to be a top 10 overall performer and a top performer for an organization with less than 25,000 scripts­ or prescriptions. The data submitted in 2020 was collected from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2019. The LPM program goes beyond URAC’s accreditation program and ensures higher quality through performance measurement.

URAC accreditation is given to an organization for a period of up to three years. An organization must undergo a review again after this period expires in order to maintain their accredited status
