Book Description
Copublished with the American College of Physician Executives, this newly expanded edition reveals how the evaluation of individual physician performance can ensure patient safety and improve the efficiency of care.
This new edition offers a wealth of useful tools and proven strategies for administering effective physician peer review.

The book also updates and expands the technical and organizational tools available for those who are charged with the task of finding ways to improve clinical performance.
This accessible resource includes sample physician performance profiles and offers guidance on the implications of adverse peer review. The book also contains vital information on a range of useful topics, including how to make sound medical decisions, the ethical dimensions of performance, and the methods for distinguishing between system and practitioner performance problems.
