Background: Concepts for measuring and improving the quality of patient care in hospitals have become increasingly important in recent years.
Objectives: The peer review procedure which has been developed by the Helios Clinic Group and Initiative for Quality Medicine (IQM) is described.
Materials And Methods: In peer review, medical records are reviewed by experienced external physicians. Inadequacies are identified, improvement protocols initiated, and concrete measures for improvement of patient care derived.
Results: The described procedure is able to identify patient risks and errors during the course of treatment with the subsequent goal of avoiding repetition. In a retrospective, observational quality management study, peer review led to a significant decrease in mortality rates for various diseases.
Conclusions: Peer review represents the optimal procedure of medical quality management by systematic review and open discussion with colleagues.
