Promote nurse accountability with peer review
Peer review is a key component of creating and encouraging an autonomous and accountable nursing environment as it allows staff nurses to monitor nursing practice. Organizations that practice peer review link it to sources of evidence for Force of Magnetism 4: Personnel policies and programs; Force 7: Quality improvement; and Force 9: Autonomy.
The leadership council at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta-a three-time ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® (MRP) designee-noticed that each unit did not use the same problem-solving process, so it decided to adopt a hospitalwide peer review process.
