PEER-PERFORMED EVALUATIONS
The complex world of healthcare must ensure that its providers adhere to and maintain consistent standards of quality care. Due to the extremely technical components involved in the delivery of care, only those individuals trained in the various disciplines within the healthcare field are able to judge the efficacy of a particular individual’s performance.
