Sound Utilization Management (UM) and Utilization Review (UR) practices are integral to assuring optimal healthcare delivery and positive patient outcomes and achieving successful results during activities such as RAC audits. All CAHs must have a UM/UR Plan that describes the process used to review all services provided by the institution and by the members of the medical staff. During this webinar, presented by CRHC, experts from the Joffit Group, will discuss the components involved in setting up an efficient UM/UR process and will review CRHC's Utilization Management Resource for CAHs: a concise, easy-to-use tool for hospital providers and staff that explains the role of UM/UR in various CAH settings including: Inpatient, Outpatient, Observation, and Swing Bed.
