APPRECIATION
My wish is that peer assessment will
continue to be the shining beacon for
excellent patient care.
Over time, peer assessment has grown from a simple
concept to a mature program that is emulated by many
jurisdictions. It is the one program that is supported
by practitioners, professional organizations, the public,
and government alike. Its universal acceptance is unique
among CPSO activities.
I have always held the view that peer assessment is the
best form of Continuing Professional Development. It
seeks to create an opportunity for edification through
reasoning and gentle persuasion. When clinical deficien-
cies are detected, the physician is provided with guid-
ance and opportunities for enhancement. It can lead to
lasting practice improvement. Its impact is far reaching.
I approached each peer assessment with two perspec-
tives in mind – the clinician as well as the patient.
The clinician perspective is straightforward – history,
functional inquiry, physical examination, diagnosis,
investigation, treatment, referral, follow up and record-
keeping.
The patient perspective is different. I want to ascertain
the amount of time for each patient visit, issues/con-
cerns raised by the patient and the ensuing discussion,
advice, empathy, and support. I am also interested in
the wait time, physician availability, care fragmentation
and other practical issues that can significantly affect
patient care.
I am an advocate for patient-centered care. Peer assess-
ment provides an excellent platform for such discussion.
My wish is that peer assessment will continue to be the
shining beacon for excellent patient care.
