Two organizations--the Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the American Accreditation HealthCare Commission/URAC--are developing accreditation standards for case management departments. Both will be available sometime next year. Just as certification has helped establish a benchmark for individual practice, these organizations hope their programs will establish larger-scale benchmarks for whole departments. It's expected that the CARF standards will be geared more toward acute care, while the Commission/URAC will apply more to payer-based programs.
两个组织——康复设施认证委员会（CARF）和美国医疗保健认证委员会/URAC——正在制定病例管理部门的认证标准。两者都将于明年某个时候出台。正如认证有助于为个人执业确立一个基准一样，这些组织希望它们的项目能为整个部门确立更大规模的基准。预计CARF标准将更侧重于急性护理，而委员会/URAC的标准将更多适用于基于付款人的项目。
