“…Locating a suitable peer reviewer who understands the complexities of highly specialized nursing care in these isolated settings creates practical challenges. Kenny, Baker, Lanzon, Stevens, and Yancy () described formation of an APN peer review committee to ensure that APNs were involved in the process of reviewing an APN involved in a critical incident, where previously this was performed by the medical staff committee.…”

Background and purpose Over the past decade, implementation of the peer review process for the development of the advanced practice nurse (APN) has been emphasized. However, little exists in the literature regarding APN peer review. The peer review process is intended to help demonstrate competency of care, enhance quality improvement measures, and foster the professional growth of the APN. Methods APNs serving on a professional governance council within a university teaching hospital developed a model of peer review for APNs. Nine months after the tool was implemented, an anonymous follow‐up survey was conducted. A follow‐up request was sent 4 weeks later to increase the number of respondents. Likert scales were used to elicit subjective data regarding the process. Conclusions Of 81 APNs who participated in the survey, more than half (52%) felt that the process would directly improve their professional practice. Implications for practice Survey results show that the peer review process affected APN professional practice positively. Additional research might include pathways for remediation and education of staff, evaluation of alternate methods to improve application to clinical practice, and collection of outcome data. The models presented provide a foundation for future refinement to accommodate different APN practice settings.

“…Often a "peer-review" structure germane to the professional practice needs to be created with clearly identified peers but joint oversight by physicians and nurses. [36][37][38] Protocols, cosignature, prescribing, and oversight need to be reviewed, with appropriate policies and procedures to accommodate the new staff roles. Billing raises other management-control choices, including whether to account for activities of other health providers in facility operations or allocate provider activity to medical department budgets.…”

In this the second part of a 2-part ICU staffing series, we enjoin the reader to enter the multidisciplinary discussion over the broad issue of ICU staffing. Part 1 (vol. 1 no. 2, March 2010) emphasized evidence based, patient-centered staffing and outlined some challenges from a nursing and staffing perspective. The section outlined principles, standard practices and human resources concerns for the clinician, manager and ICU director. In part 2, we explore design, management and business models as well as unit operations in relation to ICU staff and ICU patients. It includes evidence behind key concepts linking ICU structure, team design and staffing. The primer encourages ICU leaders to step out of the weeds and take a walk in the woods to explore each others' perspectives and literature.

An innovative approach to peer review for the advanced practice nurse—A focus on critical incidents

Abstract: APNs must assure that they have a voice in the peer review process. Representation by peers of similar specialty and rank is an important component in the peer evaluation process. The establishment of the APN Peer Review Committee served this purpose for our institution.
