Closing The Loop with Peer Review

Summary

Do you ever struggle to ensure that there’s follow-through on your peer review recommendations? 
Gundersen Health System, a teaching hospital with multiple regional sites, faced that exact challenge. With the help of RL6:PeerReview they rolled out a new case outcome scoring system and process to close the loop on peer review action items. 

Join us to discuss:

  • The challenges they faced with follow-ups in the previous system 
  • How they’ve worked to develop processes to hold chairs and attendings accountable to follow through on recommendations
  • How the changes to their peer review process have led to increased clarity and consistency and allowed them to streamline their goals focus on best practices and preventing future harm 

We’ll also be joined by our Product Manager for RL6:PeerReview, who will share the latest developments in the product.
