1 Online Supplement to Clinical Peer Review Programs Impact on Quality and Safety in U.S. Hospitals, by Marc T. Edwards, MD Journal of Healthcare Management 58(5), September/October 2013 Tabulated Survey Results The following tables present questionnaire items in a manner comparable to the original online survey along with tallies for the response options. If not otherwise indicated, results are given as % (n). QI model items (7-19) are marked with an (*) and show the points assigned to each response level, which add to form the QI model score. 1) Medical Staff Engagement in Quality & Safety N = 300 Which statement best describes the degree to which your medical staff is engaged with efforts to improve quality and safety at the hospital? Highly engaged 22 (66) Very engaged 47 (142) Somewhat engaged 28 (84) Somewhat unengaged 1 (4) Generally unengaged 1 (3) Distinctly unengaged 0 (1) 2) Quality Impact N = 300 What is the likelihood that your Peer Review Program makes a significant ongoing contribution to the quality and safety of patient care at the hospital? Very likely 40 (121) Likely 37 (110) Somewhat likely 19 (56) Somewhat unlikely 3 (10) Unlikely 0 (1) Very Unlikely 1 (2) 3) Relative Importance N = 300 How important is your Peer Review Program in relation to all other quality and safety improvement activity at the hospital? 6 - Most Important 21 (36) 5 44 (133) 4 31 (92) 3 9 (26) 2 3 (9) 1- Least Important 1 (4) 4) Medical Staff Perception N = 300 Which statement best describes how your medical staff perceives the Peer Review process? Excellent 6 (17) Very Good 35 (105) Good 42 (125) Fair 14 (43) Poor 3 (10) Very Poor 0 (0) Journal of Healthcare Management 58(5), September/October
2 5) Program Scope N = 300 While peer review methods are widely applied, not all such use is locally defined as being within the scope of the medical staff s peer review program. Prior study has shown wide variation in program scope. What types of activities are included within the scope of your Peer Review Program? Check all that apply Retrospective medical record review 97 (292) Focused individual review of quality when serious concerns are raised 91 (272) Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation 82 (247) Comparative evaluation of performance measures (e.g., complication rates, core 82 (245) measures, patient satisfaction) Case-specific, individually-targeted recommendations to improve performance 78 (234) Focused Professional Practice Evaluation for new privileges 77 (232) Disruptive behavior management 77 (232) Root cause analysis 77 (231) Proctoring for new privileges 63 (188) Comparative evaluation of aggregate data from Peer Review 62 (186) Development and/or review of clinical policies, order sets, etc. 62 (187) Morbidity & Mortality case conferences 57 (170) Benchmarking to normative data (e.g. NSQUIP, STS, UHC, Premier, etc.) 57 (170) Physician Health Program administration 56 (166) Conducting quality improvement studies and/or projects 54 (162) Concurrent medical record review 50 (149) Producing educational programs for groups of clinicians 43 (130) Other forms of direct observation 25 (76) 6) Peer Review vs. Credentialing N = 298 Which statement best describes the relationship between peer review and credentialing at your hospital? The peer review program is completely separate from credentialing 5 (14) The peer review program is independent of credentialing, but the results of peer review 70 (209) may be used in credentialing decisions including OPPE Peer review program activity is partially mixed with credentialing activity 14 (42) The peer review program encompasses the credentialing program 4 (11) The credentialing program encompasses the peer review program 8 (23) 7) *Standardization of Process* N = 299 Points Peer review process is highly standardized. The oversight committee approves 28 (84) 10 all variation. The process is greatly standardized, but there may be some unapproved 31 (94) 6 variation The process is standardized, although there may be significant variation 28 (84) 4 The process may be somewhat standardized, but variation is substantial 10 (30) 0 The process is not really standardized - autonomous behavior predominates 2 (7) 0 Journal of Healthcare Management 58(5), September/October
3 Example A: Commonly Used Overall Rating Method This assessment, limited to an overall score, classifies the review decision, but does not measure clinical performance. It has 10 options, but only captures 3 levels of management quality (Appropriate - Varied from Standard - Unacceptable). Example B: Sample Methodology and Rating Scale for Measuring Clinical Performance Multiple elements of clinical performance are rated on a 5 point scale from Best to Worst. Page one of several. cf: Rubin HR et al. Guidelines for Structured Implicit Review of Diverse Medical and Surgical Conditions. RAND; 1989 N HCFA.

4 8) *Clinical Performance Measurement During Case Review (see N = 300 Points examples above)* The findings from case review are essentially undocumented 2 (7) 0 Case review may be documented, but no measures of clinical performance are 11 (32) 0 recorded Clinical performance is summarized with an overall score, which may capture a 54 (161) 2 few key dimensions (Example A) Clinical performance is measured on multiple dimensions using a single 14 (43) 6 template common to all medical care (Example B) Clinical performance is measured on multiple dimensions that vary according to the specific type of clinical activity being reviewed (e.g., surgery vs. medicine) 19 (57) 10 9) *Recognition of Excellence* N = 299 Points We have a method to identify and regularly provide recognition for outstanding 15 (46) 10 clinical performance We occasionally recognize outstanding performance 45 (134) 5 Seldom or rarely, if ever, do we recognize outstanding performance 40 (119) 0 10) *Governance of Process* N = 300 Points The medical staff leadership gives little or no attention to governance of the 8 (25) 0 peer review process and its aggregate outcomes There is regular review of data involving the process and its aggregate 33 (99) 5 outcomes, with little or no discussion There is regular review of data involving the peer review process and its outcomes, with meaningful discussion directed toward ongoing improvement of the process (irrespective of discussions about individual performance issues 59 (176) 10 11) *Rating Scales (see examples above)* N = 300 Points We don t use rating scales 12 (37) 0 We rate elements of clinical performance primarily on Yes or No type scales 17 (50) 0 (e.g., a check box for documentation issues) We rate elements of clinical performance on scales that have at most three or 59 (176) 0 four intervals from best to worst (Example A) We rate elements of clinical performance on scales that have five or six 10 (31) 5 intervals from best to worst (Example B) We rate elements of clinical performance on scales that have seven or more intervals from best to worst 2 (6) 10 12) *Reviewer Participation* N = 300 Points Which statement best describes the level of participation by Reviewers in the Peer Review process?
