Differentiating Peer Review and the Annual Performance Review

Confusion exists about the intent and focus of annual performance reviews (APR) compared with professional peer reviews (PPR). To ensure that both reviews are meeting organizational, professional, individual nurse, and patient needs, it’s important to clarify the issues of ownership and intended outcomes for these processes.
