Peer Review Services

While internal peer review is an important method to ensure quality of care, there are situations  requiring Independent Peer Review. In these circumstances, outsourcing peer review is a 'best practice'.
​​
Benefits of external peer review include addressing conflict of interest by removing bias and assists with regulatory, credentialing and accreditation requirements.  CIMRO's independent review services can remove barriers standing in the way of your quality improvement efforts.   In addition, outsourcing can ensure adherence to quality standards and reduces liability risk.
