URAC HCP 7 -- Proposed v. 2.1 Revision -- NEW STANDARD -- Plan for Data Aggregation

The HCP proposed standard that is of least interest to URAC, at least if you look at the weight it would be assigned, is HCP 7, which reads:

Organizations have a written plan to aggregate data from various sources using an appropriate methodology for the purposes of health care performance reporting on physicians and other providers. [1]

Even the interpretive information that URAC provides is sparse:

Collecting and aggregating data, including data collected across various payers, helps to achieve a more representative and valid sample.

There is little reason to think that an organization would need to do more than to submit such a written plan at the AccreditNet phase of the process.  It seems unlikely that this would be the subject of any activity during the onsite review.
