All UCA Accredited Urgent Care centers receive dual Accreditation and Certification.

Certified Urgent Care vs. Accredited Urgent Care: What’s the Difference?

Certification is a designation that a center has met all the eligibility requirements of a nationally standardized definition of scope of services for urgent care.  No onsite survey is required. Instead each location is asked to send in documentation that shows it has met each of the certification urgent care criteria.

Accreditation builds on certification, assessing not only the organization’s ability to meet scope of services, but also to meet the standards of patient safety and quality.  An onsite survey is required and must be scheduled within 6 months from the time the application is processed.

The Antibiotic Stewardship Commendation Program

The Antibiotic Stewardship Commendation Program requires urgent care centers to provide evidence demonstrating their compliance with the Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship developed by the CDC. The period of Commendation is three years, and centers are required to provide evidence demonstrating ongoing compliance with the CDC's Core Elements and an assessment of quality improvement efforts to obtain repeat Commendation.
