vielife has received certification for the fifth consecutive year from the U.S.-based National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in the categories of Health Appraisals and Self Management Tools.
“For our U.S. customers, the NCQA seal of approval is one of the top criteria in their health and well-being product selection and we're very proud to receive new certification”
Maintaining the highest award in the NCQA's stringent certification process affirms that vielife provides the highest quality health information and behavior change programs.
NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality through accreditation and certification of a wide range of health care organizations. NCQA certification is widely recognized. Certified organizations must pass a rigorous, comprehensive review and report on their performance every two years.
Certification has become increasingly important in the selection of health information products, including health and well-being platforms such as vielife Online.
NCQA certification is strong indication to an employer that its wellness vendor-partner has passed the highest objective standards by the leading third-party health care quality measurement organization. This is critical for organizations wanting to ensure that employees' personal information is used effectively to improve their health and well-being while supporting corporate objectives such as managing costs and improving productivity.
"For our U.S. customers, the NCQA seal of approval is one of the top criteria in their health and well-being product selection and we're very proud to receive new certification," said Jess Colling, vielife product director.
"Earning NCQA's HIP Certification demonstrates that an organization has expertise in gathering and disseminating health care information for health plan participants," said Kathleen C. Mudd, NCQA vice president for product delivery. "vielife is to be commended for being one of the first organizations in the nation to be reviewed for these services."
