Performance Improvement Review

Performance Improvement Reviews extend beyond traditional peer review by evaluating the quality, safety, effectiveness, and reliability of care delivery at both the provider and organizational levels. Unlike case-specific peer review, they focus not only on what occurred, but also on why it occurred and what organizational factors may have contributed to the outcome.

Reviews may include analysis of mortalities, readmissions, adverse events, patient safety events, hospital-acquired conditions, quality indicators, nursing care practices, care coordination, delays in diagnosis or treatment, adherence to evidence-based guidelines, and compliance with organizational policies and regulatory requirements.

QPS utilizes experienced physicians, nurses and other healthcare subject matter experts to identify gaps in care processes, communication failures, documentation deficiencies, workflow inefficiencies, and other system-related issues. Findings are presented with evidence-based analysis and actionable recommendations designed to support sustainable improvement.
