peer review
The Nursing Peer Review for the Labor and Delivery unit at the Summa Health Akron
Campus was initiated in 2014. The first step in the process was identifying staff who
would serve as key peer-staff leaders on the committee. It was the staff nurses
in Labor and Delivery who selected committee members they determined to be
leaders and professionals with the necessary experience to make determinations and
recommendations concerning ”best practices.” Additional nurse leaders offer insight
and feedback as appropriate during peer review meetings, including nurses from
intrapartum management, the APRN of the Women’s Health Institute, as well as the
Nursing Professional Development Educator.
