Hospital Peer Reviews
Objective Hospital Peer Review is essential to raising quality of care, reducing costs, avoiding expensive litigation, enhancing hospital reputation and protecting JCAHO accreditation. Unfortunately, doctors on in-house committees often lack the specialist expertise to effectively assess their peers. Tight-knit social and professional relationships can lead to bias and reluctance to pass judgment on associates. Furthermore, peer review does not receive high priority in the busy schedule of medical staff – pushed to the bottom of the list, evaluations are either untimely or don’t get done at all.
ECN offers Hospital Peer Review’s which ensure impartial quality medical management, saving you time, money, and most importantly, your reputation.
We assign peer reviewers who have experienced the same type of clinical situation present in the claim.
You can rely on unprejudiced, evidence-decisions from independent reviewers with no relationship to the treating physician.
