title: Radiology peer-review feedback scorecards: optimizing transparency, accessibility, and education in a children׳s hospital.
abstract: Peer review is a requisite for a comprehensive quality assurance program. Although RADPEER implementations have been well documented, the feedback process has been underemphasized. Our radiology department developed feedback scorecards to address this gap. In this article, we describe our scorecard components, the software applications we independently created and utilize, and how they align missions of quality improvement and radiologist education. The result is a web-based, comment-enhanced, monthly feedback scorecard that to our knowledge is the first of its kind described in the literature.
