URAC's Best Practices Awards recognize the achievements of health care companies that are actively pursuing practices to advance consumer empowerment and protection in an exceptional, measurable and reproducible way. Last year's winners included innovative companies such as CVS Caremark, HealthPartners, Eliza Corporation, Kaiser Permanente of the Mid-Atlantic States, and Pro-Change Behavior Systems.

Awards will be given in two categories. The Consumer Decision-Making category recognizes practices that educate consumers about their health care needs while providing the information, tools, and resources necessary to promote empowerment.
