Widely-publicized case emphasizes the importance of external peer review
The case of John Anderson King, an incompetent surgeon facing 100 malpractice suits—including one for the double leg amputation of a 38-year-old mother of three—was brought to light by an external peer reviewer. Unfortunately for the physician's patients, it was too little too late.
A critically important system of checks and balances
External peer review is an outside, independent, objective assessment of the quality of care provided by your staff. If this important system of checks and balances is not completely understood and used effectively, the safety of your patients and your facility's reputation will be put in jeopardy.
