Healthcare facility based Quality Improvement Committees are often left with the daunting task of case analysis for potential standard of care deviations. Problem areas include:

      A. Lack of qualified experts in the field

      B. Allegations of potential for onsite reviewer bias

      C. Competitive issues between reviewer and reviewee

      D. Potential for favoritism

      E. Medical legal liability of facility for peer review and credentialing decisions

Avoid these dilemmas in the peer review process by performing external peer review(EPR), an  objective unbiased care analysis for your more problematic cases.
