External Evidence-Based Reviews Keep Healthcare Sys...(To improve healthcare quality for hospit...),Health

Date:10/14/2009

To improve healthcare quality for hospitals and clinics, IROs can assess physician performance and recommend physician education or suggest best practices for clinical departments. This reduces healthcare cost by evaluating the over utilization of medical treatments and drugs that aren't medically necessary. This reduces costs to all, while improving the quality of care.

"Because we are external to healthcare organizations, insurance carriers and payers, NAIRO member companies improve the integrity of healthcare by removing the conflict of interest often associated with internal reviews and by issuing unbiased, evidence-based determinations," Ferris said.
