LITTLE ROCK – CARTI is now home to a URAC-accredited Specialty Pharmacy. Offering prescription pharmaceutical delivery across the state, the prestigious designation reflects the not-for-profit provider’s dedication to expanding patients’ access to trusted, high-quality care.

“For 50 years, we have walked alongside patients for every step of their journeys, including helping them navigate complex medical treatments safely and effectively,” said Misti Harvey, PharmD, FACHE, CARTI’s executive vice president and chief clinical officer. “This URAC accreditation is a testament to our team’s efforts to ensure treatment remains not only accessible but also manageable for those facing cancer.”

URAC is the independent leader in promoting health care quality by setting high standards for clinical practice, consumer protections, performance measurement, operations infrastructure and risk management. Its accreditation process validates compliance with nationally recognized health care standards and supports improvements and innovation in long-term care management and service delivery.

“This achievement demonstrates CARTI’s excellence in pharmacy operations, product handling, patient education and patient management,” said URAC’s president and CEO Shawn Griffin, M.D. “When an organization achieves URAC accreditation, it demonstrates a commitment to improving quality of care, which is important to patients, providers and payers.”
