Description: 

The Quality Review and Improvement Committee (QRIC) is a multi-disciplinary, cross-divisional team of PAFMG physicians who convene twice a month to conduct case reviews. The purpose is to identify areas for improvement in patient care, optimize the quality of care, and provide feedback to clinicians, leaders, and system to prevent future errors and allow for shared best practices. Cases are referred from MIDAS/Risk department, patient relations department, clinical department. Quarterly reports of the clinical cases that were discussed and triaged are published in a report called Peggy Pearls. Addressing and mitigating bias is an integral component of this series. Case outcomes are not provided until an outcome vote has been taken by attendees in order to reduce bias.
