Nursing peer review: developing a framework for patient safety.
Patient safety is of great concern to healthcare leaders and is a top priority in all healthcare organizations. It is essential to promote an organizational commitment that values a culture of safety through reporting of medical error and analysis of untoward events. Nursing peer review facilitates the establishment of a culture of safety, as it seeks to analyze medical errors and eliminate the reoccurrence of untoward events.
