URAC WS 15 -- Health Content: Author, Source, and Date Disclosure -- v. 2.1 revision

In moving from v. 2.0 to 2.1, URAC has amended Web Site standard 15 by making all the elements of this mandatory standard “primary”. Previously, both the stem and subsection (a) were secondary. The standard reads:

For health content and health related information, the web site provides: (Primary)
(a) The name of the author, or (Primary)
(b) The source of the material; and (Primary)
(c) The date of the most recent review or update (Primary).

The consequence of this change is that no element of this standard can be missed if the applicant is to achieve full accreditation. Previously, it was possible to omit the name of the author and still receive a full accreditation.
