WASHINGTON - URAC, an independent health care accreditation organization, has launched a new partnership with The Center for Telehealth and e-Health Law (CTeL), an independent legal and regulatory telehealth research institute. The partnership works to connect CTeL’s members with URAC’s accreditation offerings, leading to better safety, security and outcomes for telehealth patients. CTeL members will have access to special discounted pricing for URAC accreditation, including telehealth accreditation, and URAC-accredited organizations will have discounts when they participate in CTeL’s online learning program. “By partnering with CTeL, URAC is helping to highlight the importance of telehealth throughout the pandemic and afterward,” said Jeffrey Carr, URAC’s vice president, business development. “We share with CTeL the belief that telehealth can help overcome challenges in health care, including access to care and importantly, barriers to receiving mental health care.”
