When conducting professional practice evaluation for APPs, peer reviewers should come from the same discipline whenever possible—PA to PA, NP to NP, CRNA to CRNA, and so forth. Of course, there may be times when it isn’t possible to get an evaluation from a peer in the same discipline. In such cases, you may have to rely on an NP evaluation of a PA, or vice versa. There may also be times when the only person with firsthand knowledge of the APP’s clinical abilities is a physician.

As the value of “value” increases in healthcare, organizations must look at all means of increasing safety, quality, access, and cost. One entity that cannot be ignored is the EHR.
