Peer review: innovating change

Medicine has traditionally focused on specialty and subspecialty expertise, which subsequently leads to fragmentation, inefficiencies, and lack of accountability. From this focus came a new idea: The Institute. The Institute has transformed our culture, fundamentally affecting the way we approach patient care and how we foster accountability rather than blame. It focuses on system failures rather than on individual ones, which ultimately drives us to act. The result is a peer-review process built on strong interdisciplinary relationships.
