AFMC chose InterQual criteria because they are based on well-researched medical evidence that is reviewed and updated annually.  Each year, new areas are selected for development and revision, based on systematic, continuous review of the most current medical and behavioral health literature and feedback from clients and clinical consultants over the course of the year.  Then, a comprehensive review of evidence-based and general medical and behavioral health literature is completed.  Input is also solicited from external clinical consultants, who assess and validate the content for clinical accuracy.

 

Hospitals are not required to purchase InterQual products; however, if you would like to do so, contact the Arkansas Hospital Association at 501-224-7878 for information about possible discounts.  For more information, visit www.interqual.com.
