Standards for peer evaluation: the hospital quality assurance committee.

S E Feldman and D W Roblin

Department of Surgery, Mount Zion Hospital, University of California, San Francisco 94118.

Hospital medical staff quality assurance committees may be more meaningful targets for reform than individual physicians. Review standards are needed to make these committees effective monitors. Increasing regulatory attention to medical staff peer review can be expected.
