One way to ensure that a practitioner providing a peer review includes relevant information is to give the reviewer a checklist of information to include. Additionally, your medical staff may send out a form for the reviewer to complete in addition to sending a letter of reference. This form may include information such as the dates and context of the situation in which the reviewer knew the applicant.
This week’s tip is from Ready, Set, Credential!: Questions, Games, and Strategies to Train Your Staff, Second Edition, by Nancy C. Lian, CPMSM, CPCS.
