Connection Dental® Network Applies for Reaccreditation from URAC
LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo, May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Connection Dental® Network has held URAC Accreditation for Health Network since 2005 and has held accreditation for Health Network with credentialing since 2010. In support of its efforts to provide quality health care products, GEHA has applied to be reaccredited with URAC, a Washington, DC-based accrediting organization that establishes quality standards for the health care industry. The Connection Dental Network is owned and operated by Government Employees Health Association, Inc. (GEHA), the second-largest national health plan for federal employees, retirees and their dependents.
"The URAC accreditation process demonstrates a commitment to quality services," Dianna Sleyster, GEHA's Policy and Compliance Manager says. "It serves as a framework to improve business processes through benchmarking organizations against nationally-recognized standards."
Sleyster says that GEHA chose to pursue URAC accreditation because URAC's standards keep pace with rapid changes in the health care system. She adds that URAC accreditation provides a mark of distinction for health care organizations to demonstrate their commitment to quality and accountability.
"Through its broad-based governance structure and an inclusive standards development process, URAC strives to ensure that all stakeholders are represented in establishing meaningful quality measures for the entire health care industry," Sleyster says.
