Please call (888) 899-1406 to schedule a free consultation to talk about how we can conduct physician peer reviews for your organization. We will also be happy to show you a redacted sample of one of our reports.
At MRN, since 1993, we’ve been offering legal nurse consulting services, including external OPPE peer reviews and FPPE peer reviews.
Below are some of the best practices that we follow, with each physician peer review we conduct.
Choose A Physician Reviewer With Expertise
The quality of a physician peer review hinges on choosing the best expert for the job. While other peer review companies employ or contract with a limited number of specialists to evaluate all types of requests that come in for that specialty, we operate differently. For each case, we choose a physician reviewer who is board-certified, in active clinical practice, with the same or higher level of expertise than the physician being reviewed. We also take care to choose a peer reviewer who has worked at a similar facility (in size and type) as the physician being reviewed. There are often various nuances to be considered.
Select An Objective, Independent, and Fair Physician Reviewer
The physicians we choose as reviewers are fair, objective, and independent. This ensures that Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluations (OPPEs) and Focused Professional Practice Evaluation (FPPEs) are conducted in a fair and consistent manner. As an external peer review company, we’re in a position to complete reviews that are more objective than those conducted by in-house physicians.
Ask The Right Questions In The Physician Peer Review
It’s important that the right questions are asked during the physician review process. For external OPPE peer reviews, we can help design the type of form that meets the needs of your organization and can be consistently implemented across all reviews. For external FPPE peer reviews, we can help ensure that the questions asked reveal both qualitative data and quantitative data.
