MMA peer review program to monitor quality of care.
The MMA believes its peer review program is fundamental to organized medicine's desire to monitor the profession while simultaneously improving the quality of care provided to Minnesota patients. The association also recognizes the need to assist outside organizations with peer review. The overall goal of the peer review program will be to assure the public that the MMA is willing and able to address public complaints and organizational concerns regarding physicians who do not comply with accepted practice and professional ethics. Physicians interested in participating in either the internal or external peer review program should submit a letter detailing their experience in peer review activities, describing their professional experience, and listing their eligibility or board certifications. The MMA will be contacting interested and qualified physicians in the near future to organize the committees responsible for peer review.
