7 The Trends Accreditation and measurement by independent organizations such as URAC is more important than ever to assure the highest value, quality and protection for consumers: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates the "gold seal" of accreditation of qualified health plan issuers in order to participate on Health Insurance Exchanges. Heightened emphasis on the value of patientcentered health care homes, employing clinical guidelines to benchmark performance and quality improvement. The ACA promotes medical homes as critical care coordination hubs under its Medicare Shared Savings/ Accountable Care Organizations program - including a set of quality reporting measures - and in Qualified Health Plan provider networks under its Health Insurance Exchange program.
