by Robert J. Marder, MD Peer review continues to rate as a top challenge in healthcare organizations. Even if they are meeting regulatory standards, organizations struggle to develop a peer review program that is unbiased and meaningful, making it difficult to change physicians’ punitive view of the process. Now in its fourth edition, Effective Peer Review has been significantly updated and revised, providing even more practical details and policies to help medical staffs reduce peer review bias and implement an approach focused on performance improvement. The book addresses ways to enhance all of the components of a successful competency assessment program, from case review to OPPE and FPPE, with entire chapters dedicated to medical staff culture, multispecialty peer review, and avoiding peer review pitfalls.
