We are off to a huge start this year – new programs, a new space and new clients to serve! Many of you heard about the exciting changes we have been working on as 2019 ended and the launch of our newest programs to kick off January.

After a great deal of collaboration and hard work from many of our staff, we are excited to announce the launch of URAC’s Rare Disease Pharmacy Center of Excellence Designation program.

In 2019, three Pharmacy Accreditation Reviewers pursued and achieved significant certifications. Dan Bramy and Heather Valiton are now “Certified Specialty Pharmacists.” This certification, offered by the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP), is the only certification specifically designed to validate professional experience and expertise in Specialty Pharmacy. 

For the past 30 years, URAC has worked hard to provide the gold standard of accreditation. We believe our process demonstrates a commitment to quality services and serves as a framework for organizations to protect patients and save lives.

For those who have started their journey in December, we are excited to begin down this path with them and also offer our congratulations to all the organizations who received accreditation and reaccreditation this month:

The Monthly Review spotlights a different URACer each month in a Q&A. This month it's Donna Merrick, URAC's Product Enhancement Principal.
