Summer 2012: Helping to Keep The “Medical” In Medical Learning


POSTED IN: Summer 2012,

Healthcare providers learning from their peers help ensure healthcare quality. Comprehensive and impartial reviews of medical cases by physicians — as opposed to non-medical professionals — works for safer patients and healthier Missourians. By joining the physicianreviewer team at Primaris, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for the state, emergency physicians can join this effort. All reviewing – and training for reviewing – can be done remotely, from the comfort of your home or office. Physician reviewers are paid and covered by Primaris’ liability insurance. To get started, contact Primaris Medical Director Sharon Hoffarth, MD, MPH, FACPM, at shoffarth@primaris.org or 800-735-6776 ext. 170.
