Inside best practice: Why is peer review necessary?
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, August 30, 2010
Many organizations hospitals have incorporated peer review components into their standards or requirements:
- The Joint Commission (human resources and leadership requirements)
- American Nurses Association (ANA) under the Code for Nurses
- ANCC’s Magnet Recognition Program® (Component 3: Exemplary Professional Practice, EP 20)
“We have had a preponderance of the shark and guppy culture,” said Meryl Montgomery, RN, MSN, ANCC Magnet Recognition Program ® (MRP) coordinator for the Medical Center of Central Georgia, Macon, GA. “That environment is changing. Changing slowly in some cases, quickly in others.”
