Benefits of Peer Review
Outside Perspective
A third party peer review avoids any potential conflicts among internal physicians, as well as any potential conflicts of interest. Corazon Medical Advisors are practicing physicians with specialized expertise in their fields and closely monitored quality outcomes. They are also well versed in communicating difficult messages peer-to-peer and providing valuable recommendations to advance program quality.
Enhanced Quality
Ongoing peer review supports continuous quality improvement. The peer review process yields greater perspective on key performance metrics and can identify opportunities for improvement which go beyond registry data into technique and specific practice recommendations.
Proactive Measures
Hospitals most frequently request formal external peer review after an inciting incident or quality fallout. Instead, Corazon recommends a proactive approach so hospitals can be aware of patterns in the program’s practice before such issues arise.
Ongoing Education
Peer review provides an opportunity for education of both physicians and staff. The entire forum is built around communication, feedback, and education. This is also an opportunity for successful procedures to be highlighted to educate the entire team to promote consistent results.
Skills Advancement
The educational aspects allow for expanded feedback on specialized procedures. Additionally, Corazon Medical Advisors are able to provide proctoring or other training to assist with skills advancement with new or uncommon procedures.
