Converging pathways: a journey toward quality case management.
Development of case management as a profession surged in the latter part of the last century, due in large part to the birth in 1990 of two quality-focused organizations. In that year, URAC was established to improve the quality and the accountability of organizations conducting utilization review, but, in later years, it expanded to accreditation of organizations conducting many medical management components, such as case management and disease management. Today the organization has 17 accreditation programs.
