Join Kalen and Karen as we celebrate National Healthcare Quality Week by diving deep into one of forensic nursing's most powerful quality improvement tools: peer review. In this engaging episode, we share a big announcement about YOU - our amazing listeners. We answer a listener’s question about tips on streamlining evidence collection in the Emergency Room (ER), and the best part? We invite you to develop essential peer review knowledge through an interactive TRUE/FALSE quiz and practical template guidance that will transform how you approach documentation review!
Key Episode Learnings:
- Learn why peer review is the most effective way to ensure accuracy, objectivity, and consistency in medical forensic documentation
- Discover how to break down consultation segments (initial triage, informed consent, medical history, examination, evidence collection, etc.) to create effective peer review templates
- Understand the importance of timely peer review in helping maintain case freshness and enabling real-time quality improvements
- Learn specific photography review objectives including consent documentation, bookend photos, rule of three, and proper lighting techniques
- Uncover how regular peer review participation strengthens courtroom testimony by reinforcing clinical decision-making skills and protocol adherence
Episode Glossary:
- Quality Assurance: A process that looks at activities or products on a regular basis to make sure they are being done at the required level of excellence. (National Institute of Health, n.d.) QA processes generally look backward.
- Quality Improvement: A systematic, formal approach to the analysis of practice performance and efforts to improve performance. (American Academy of Family Physicians, 2025) Unlike QA, QI processes generally look forward.
