When you order a peer review, we will take the time to understand the unique issues of your hospital/practice/facility and help you to determine the best option that meets your needs. We help you address issues that may involve a single case, a procedure, or the activities of an entire practice or department.
- Routine/Credentialing Reviews: Off-site reviews with no identified issues. These work well to comply with CMS and FPPE/OPPE Joint Commission standards.
- Focused Reviews: Off-site review of one case for a particular provider. May be in response to the facility’s concern about a single patient case or procedure.
- Sentinel Event Reviews: These are unanticipated events, not primarily related to the natural course of the patient’s illness, that result in death or serious physical or psychological injury to a patient.
- Clinical Reviews: On-site departmental review, providing objective analysis of all aspects of clinical care. The on-site visit provides the reviewers with further insight into potential issues and can assist them in making recommendations.
The Maine Medical Association’s Program of External Peer Review has served Maine providers for more than twenty years. The opportunity to bring unbiased eyes to the process of peer review with experienced clinicians who understand evolving concepts of Peer Review is an invaluable aid both in terms of the cases reviewed and the discussions about the peer review process.
Even in a hospital the size of MaineGeneral, it is sometimes difficult to objectively evaluate one’s peers. MMA’s Peer Review Program fills that gap.
