Why Outsource?

Why Independent Peer Review?

Situations Requiring Independent Peer Review
While internal peer review is an important method, when care provided by a practitioner is called into question, so might the integrity of the peer review process. What happens when you are faced with one of these potential peer review issues?
  • Only one physician of a particular specialty on staff – true peer review is not being performed
  • Conflict of interest and potential for bias can exist when several physicians in the required specialty are on staff; however, physicians may:
    • Have a social or personal relationship
    • Be in partnership or direct competition
    • Have an established referral pattern
  • New treatment or diagnostic services are offered with the need to validate quality / interpretation for credentialing
  • An adverse event occurred with a concern regarding standard of care
  • A physician requests additional clinical privileges
  • There is question whether a physician’s privileges should be reduced or revoked
  • External review/testimony is needed as part of an internal fair hearing process
