As standards of care are redefined based on new technology or new constructs of what constitutes quality, we can expect changes in the criteria by which our clinical activities are assessed. This is certainly true for peer review conducted under PRO programs, since the starting point for review is the application of criteria and screens. Review criteria are essentially developed by the PROs and, in Pennsylvania, with assistance of specialty society liaisons. The generic quality screens are HCFA-developed, and their use is mandated. Recently, all PROs received a Directed Change Order (DCO) in which newly revised outpatient generic quality screens were released.
随着基于新技术或质量构成的新架构重新定义护理标准，我们可以预期评估临床活动的标准会发生变化。对于在专业评审组织（PRO）项目下进行的同行评审而言，确实如此，因为评审的起点是标准和筛选标准的应用。评审标准本质上是由专业评审组织制定的，在宾夕法尼亚州，还得到了专业学会联络人的协助。通用质量筛选标准是由医疗保健财务管理局（HCFA）制定的，并且强制要求使用。最近，所有专业评审组织都收到了一份定向变更令（DCO），其中发布了新修订的门诊通用质量筛选标准。
