Product Description:
Virtual Workshop on CD
Sponsored by The Greeley Medical Staff Institute
presented on February 19, 2009
A fast-moving training module for medical staff leaders on the new face of peer review.
Regulators continue to put pressure on hospitals to ensure physician competence, and that means medical staff leaders need to ensure an effective peer review process. Medical staff leaders are charged with understanding how colleagues review each other honestly—particularly in small practices and groups—and developing measures to trend physician performance. This virtual workshop prepares physician leaders to effectively carry out their peer review responsibilities and fully understand their peer review, performance improvement, and competency measurement functions.

- Redefining peer review: Understanding OPPE, FPPE, and general competencies
- Roles and responsibilities of the peer review committee
