Abstract
Our department planned and implemented a peer review process as a part of our hospital’s pay for performance program. The review program allows employees to participate in the evaluation process; formerly, only supervisory personnel were involved. We created a format and guidelines specifically tailored to nuclear medicine. After several revisions, we have implemented a quarterly peer review. This program provides a method to self-regulate, communicate, and promote changes that will ultimately improve the quality of patient care. The purpose of this paper is to describe our program for the benefit of those who would like to institute a similar program.
