Why does this happen?
• Physicians
have no
time
• Administration is stretched too
thinly
• Responsibility for peer review is split too
many ways (risk,
legal, quality, admin, docs, MSO)
• No one person has (or accepts) overall
accountability
• Physicians and support staff are not lawyers; the
legal
issues in peer review
tends to freeze action
Myth:
Physicians don’t want to do peer review and won’t.
Reality:
They will do so willingly and well if it is fair, if
they are adequately protected and if they are assisted.
