CEOs have so much pressure on them in these smaller settings and it’s a fine line for them to make the numbers and yet enforce standards as they should. The concept that quality comes first is now instilled in them and they’re working hard to elevate their standards. When I speak to medical staffs, one of the major points I make is that peer review is not punitive; so often physicians become incensed that someone else is telling them they should have done things differently. Our medical education system and legal system has done little to foster change. Thanks again for all your help; CIMRO has really been a great resource for our hospitals.” Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer
When our hospital corporation decided to establish an external peer review program to facilitate external peer review for our hospitals, we looked for a Quality Improvement Organization with a competent panel of physicians who were well-trained in the principles of proper peer review, and who represented a broad range of specialties. We also wanted an organization with proven processes, including internal quality review as well as one with a reputation for good customer service. We found all of those qualities in CIMRO.” Vice President, Medical Affairs

This is the first time we have used outside peer review with CIMRO and were very pleased with the entire process. Communication and follow-up were timely. The peer reviewers were actively practicing physicians and had exemplary credentials. The peer reviews were thorough with supporting references. This type of service will make us 'repeat customers' if needed.” Alabama Hospital
We have been very satisfied with CIMRO’s peer review services. The comments provided by the reviewer are insightful.

We have used CIMRO’s services on four or five occasions over the past several years and have been very pleased. We have had individual peer reviews done and also a large-scale review of Emergency Department documentation. The price is very reasonable and the reviews are done in a timely manner. The quality of the reviews is excellent and it is very easy to have any follow-up questions answered. I would highly recommend CIMRO’s services to any facility in need of peer review services.” North Carolina Hospital
