KePRO's community outreach programs.

Abstract

The Keystone Peer Review Organization board of directors and management have always taken pride in knowing that individually and as a group they have put forth extra effort to assure maximum efficiency and fairness in the review system. Another source of pride to the organization is our Community Outreach Program which we think is one of the finest and most progressive in the country. While such a program is required under our contract with the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), we saw the need to go beyond the HCFA requirements.

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
