What happens after a peer assessment

Quality improvement approach

All registrants strive to provide the highest quality care to their patients; nevertheless, it's always possible to improve quality.

A quality improvement approach does not remove the need for quality assurance. Quality assurance establishes that a registrant’s performance meets a standard that ensures patient safety. Quality improvement is a framework to systematically enhance registrant performance in providing quality care. Together, quality improvement and quality assurance lead to safe, effective health care.
