Progressive Peer Review (PPR)/"Risk Management Rounds"(RMR)
MRM's Progressive Peer Review is a novel concept that combines tactics utilized in the conventional peer review process and "grand rounds" with a preemptive approach to risk management education. Whereas, traditional peer review is focused exclusively on adverse outcomes and claims filed, Progressive Peer Review is preemptive in its nature.
Numerous studies in the medical literature support MRM's contention that in excess of 40-70% of all medical malpractice claims filed
are avoidable if systematic risk management programs are in place. "Progressive Peer Review" is a unique program designed to educate
physicians and other medical personnel in an "open setting" utilizing actual related case studies representative of system gaps or lapses that result in medical malpractice
claims. The "Grand Rounds" approach targets selected cases from physician offices and hospital settings. These cases are carefully
developed to simulate actual situations that the clinical specialist or hospital staff would be exposed to. MRM integrates
"best practices", a proprietary
set of MRM programs/products, into the educational experience and allows the physician group to incorporate those practices
into their daily activities.
MRM's goal is
- to increase the participant's awareness of clinical/administrative practices which are risk prone;
- identify best practices and vulnerable practices; and
- effect appropriate changes in behavior/processes.
