URAC Wellness Standard 7 -- Individual Participant Assessment

This mandatory standard requires that you implement a process for conducting individualized assessments for all your participants.

Thus, at the heart of the URAC accreditation is the ability of the organization to conduct individualized assessments of program participants.  In other words, the organization cannot merely focus its data collection at the population level, but must be able to provide information that is useful to the individual.  

A program description, combined with examples of individualized assessment reports, are likely to satisfy the documentation requirements for the purposes of the desktop review.  Onsite review activities regarding this standard are likely to be a combination of interviews with senior management and an examination of assessment reports of randomly selected participant assessment reports, drawn from a list of all program participants.
