We are pleased to announce that the web-based measure portal opened on July 1 for the submission of 2016 performance measures.

All organizations that are required to submit measures in 2017, must submit their measurement data to URAC no later than September 30, 2017.  No extensions will be granted. Failure to submit measures will affect an organization’s accreditation status.  

The primary contact at each organization required to submit measurement data in 2017 received an email detailing the portal log-in credentials prior to July 1st. Clients that hold a Pharmacy Quality Management accreditation are required to have their performance measurement data validated by an URAC-approved data validation vendor.  

If you have any questions, please  contact the Quality, Research, and Measurement Department at researchmeasurement@urac.org.
