title: Peer review in a shared governance model.
abstract: Peer review is a process by which professional nurses measure the quality of nursing practice in relation to established standards of practice. Shared governance provides a framework in which professional nurses self-regulate practice in their domain. Quality of nursing care is assessed through the peer review process in a shared governance model. This article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a peer review process and tool designed for postanesthesia nursing practice.
