On February 18, 2025, the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC), an independent, nonprofit accreditation entity that develops standards through collaboration with industry experts and expert advisory groups, announced its intent to develop a new Health Care AI Accreditation. This new accreditation aims to provide health care organizations “with guidance on the safe and ethical implementation of AI in health care settings, while supporting patient safety and understanding.” URAC is targeting Q4 2025 to officially launch the accreditation, and is inviting healthcare leaders, AI experts and other stakeholders to participate in a committee that will develop accreditation standards to guide AI use in risk management, patient encounters, and clinical care.
