6/16/2010 – Marc T. Edwards, MD MBA, President & CEO of QA to QI Consulting announced the release of PREP-MSTM version 3.2, which takes the art of software support for QI Model peer review program management to a new level. As packaged in the My PREPTM Toolkit, PREP-MSTM gives organizations an affordable, turn-key solution for peer review program improvement. No other product on the market offers so much value for translating clinical peer review program activity into tangible improvements in quality and safety.
Dr. Edwards notes that, "the online demonstration for PREP-MSTM doesn't just tell the story of a piece of software. It also offers insight into the mechanics of managing QI Model peer review process. I am most proud of how we've developed this tool over the past few years. My research on peer review practice and close connection with existing clients has made the difference. PREP-MSTM continues to set the standard for best practice in clinical peer review program management support. There is no better product for clinical performance measurement and feedback."
Version 3.2 adds new suites of reports to better support program management, data quality review, and data analysis. Users should be delighted with the ease of data entry, the convenience of links, and the added checks on data quality. Options for documenting committee actions and the associated letter-generating capability is complete. Behind the scenes the software has been optimized for inter-operability and response time. Taxonomies have been updated for compatibility with AHRQ's Common Formats. Additional fields support documentation of Patient Safety Work Product for organizations wanting to assure a greater degree of peer review protection by reporting cases to a Patient Safety Organization.
