Improving Physician Performance at Your Facility

ICAHN’S External Peer Review Network (EPRN) assists member hospitals improve quality of care by monitoring the performance of their medical staff and identifying areas that need performance improvement.

ICAHN hospitals ensure that the quality of patient care delivered is at the highest level by utilizing their own internal provider peer review process. However, when member hospitals need to enhance or strengthen their own internal programs, ICAHN provides the opportunity through its External Peer Review Network.

About ICAHN EPRN

ICAHN's External Peer Review Network assists member hospitals with:

  • Improving the quality of care provided by the medical staff

  • Monitoring the performance of the medical staff

  • Identifying areas for performance improvement

The EPRN process is especially useful when a member hospital's internal peer review process has concluded:

  • There is a conflict of interest for available reviewers

  • That available reviewers do not have the clinical expertise necessary for peer review

  • That ambiguous or conflicting findings are present

  • There is a lack of strong consensus for a finding
