Evidence-Based Tools and Supports for Improved Clinical Peer Review Practice
Clinical peer review among physicians and among nurses and their managers is the primary method of event analysis in US Hospitals.
My studies have shown that the mode by which clinical peer review is conducted has a major impact on quality and safety in hospitals.
Unfortunately, the dysfunctional and punitive QA model for still dominates practice and poisons efforts for improvement.
The best-practice QI model corrects this dysfunction
and opens the door to a culture of safety and high reliability.
Here you will find a variety of resources to help you lead your organization toward a safer, more effective future.
This systems view of clinical peer review informs our research, products and services.
It was instrumental in revealing neglected process improvement opportunities, including data management (see below).
