External Peer Review Services for Hospitals and ASCs
Performance Improvement Delivered.
Hospitals raising the bar. Today, ongoing evaluation of hospital practitioners is a requisite to assuring excellence in physician performance and the highest quality in patient care. It is also essential to an organization’s survival, and to an organization maintaining its accreditation and reputation.
New Joint Commission peer review and credentialing standards now demand that hospitals implement more rigorous credentialing and privileging procedures in order to ensure accountability and improve practitioner performance. Such reviews also provide the transparency needed to build public confidence, attract patients and ensure the health and viability of the hospital itself. The problem is that peer review committees composed primarily of in-house personnel oftentimes lack the full gamut of specialist expertise. Social and professional relationships lead to conflicts of interest. And since most medical professionals are already overburdened, peer evaluations are either given short shrift or don’t get done at all.
Moving from compliance to high performance: AllMed Hospital Peer Review.
Leading hospitals and medical groups nationwide have discovered that
the core competencies required by focused and ongoing evaluations (FPPE
and OPPE) are best met through use of the external peer review services
offered by AllMed Healthcare Management. Rather than merely reacting to
