MDReview | Eight Steps to Better Peer Review

Log out

Step 1: Understanding your needs
We take the time to dicuss your specific situation so that we can fully understand the unique nature of the case(s) to be reviewed. This ensures that we can effectively meet your needs.

Step 2: Choosing the type of review
We offer three types of reviews:

Focused Reviews evaluate specific elements of a case and answer clinical questions asked by the client.
Comprehensive Reviews evaluate all aspects of clinical care provided to a patient.
Review of Specific Elements Reviews are based on a standard set of quality indicators to support ongoing quality monitoring. This type of review is particularly valuable for OPPE.

Step 3: Specifying a timeline
You let us know the timeframe for returning the results of a review.
We offer:

Expedited — available within 10 days
Standard — available within 21 days

Step 4: Recommending a reviewer
Once we understand the case(s) to be reviewed, we recommend a physician reviewer from our panel.

All of our reviewing physicians are board certified and currently practicing across virtually every specialty and subspecialty. We match the background of the reviewer to that of the physician under review.

We send the name and CV of a recommended reviewer to you for approval. If there’s any question about the reviewer’s qualifications or objectivity, we recommend another.

Step 5: Applying our fees
Once we understand the case(s) and have identified the appropriate reviewer from our panel, we apply our published fee schedule to your project. All costs are disclosed up front putting you in control with no surprises.

Step 6: Conducting the review
Armed with written direction and complete medical records, the reviewer conducts the peer review. All of our reviewers are trained in the MDReview way of writing thorough, concise reports.

Step 7: Analyzing the review
One of the most important aspects of the MDReview process is our active management of every detail from the time you request a review until we submit a final report to you. As a final step in that process, one of our physician partners evaluates every report submitted by our reviewers before we send it to you.

Step 8: Delivering the report
We deliver every peer review on time no matter which timeframe you choose.
