PEER REVIEW & OPPE / FPPE ABSTRACTION

The committee reviews the case. Someone has to build it first.

Peer review abstraction services turn a flagged case into the packet a professional practice evaluation committee actually reviews: the course of care, the indicators under review, and the documentation behind each one, page-cited. The committee reads a built case instead of a raw chart, and every conclusion stays theirs.

The evaluation standard is published. So is the committee that applies it.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In professional practice evaluation, both are already published.

The standard and the referee
The rulebook
  • The Joint Commission Medical Staff standards requiring ongoing professional practice evaluation (OPPE) and focused professional practice evaluation (FPPE) for every privilege granted
  • CMS Conditions of Participation at 42 CFR §482.22, which require the medical staff to periodically appraise its members
  • The hospital's own medical staff bylaws, which define the indicators, the triggers, and the review pathway
  • The privilege-specific criteria the practitioner is being measured against
The referee
  • The peer review or medical executive committee, which votes on the finding and the privilege recommendation
  • The hospital board, which acts on the committee's recommendation
  • The Joint Commission surveyor and the CMS validation survey, which test whether evaluation actually happened as the bylaws describe

How it works

3 steps between the chart and the committee.

01

Send the case file

The full chart for the case under review — orders, notes, medication administration, nursing flowsheets, device logs, imaging, in any format.

02

We return the abstraction, page-cited

The course of care in order, with the indicators your bylaws name mapped to the documentation that supports or fails to support each one.

03

The committee makes the call

Peers read the built case and reach the finding. We never score a practitioner, judge practice, or recommend a privilege action.

The boundary, in writing

An abstraction for the committee, never a judgment of the practitioner.

We organize and cite what the chart documents against the indicators your bylaws define, and we flag indicators with no documentation behind them. We do not score a practitioner, characterize care as substandard, or recommend action on a privilege. Those are peer judgments reserved to the committee.

Whether the resulting work is protected by your state's peer review privilege depends on your bylaws and how the engagement is structured. That is a question for your counsel, and it is worth settling before the first case is sent.

FAQ

Peer review abstraction, answered.

No. We map each indicator your bylaws name to the documentation behind it and flag indicators with nothing behind them. Scoring practice, judging whether care met the standard, and recommending privilege action are peer judgments the committee makes.

Privilege depends on your state statute, your medical staff bylaws, and how the engagement is structured. We can work under a structure your counsel defines, but we don't advise on whether privilege attaches. Settle that question with counsel before the first case is sent.

Yes. FPPE and OPPE differ in trigger and duration, not in what the abstraction does: reduce each case to the indicators being evaluated, with the documentation cited. The indicator set comes from your bylaws and privilege criteria.

No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
