Regulatory, accreditation, licensure, and insurance trends are also focused on improving measurement of quality. However, existing methods of quality assurance – primarily internal peer reviews – are fraught with problems. It takes professionals away from their primary focus, whether that is revenue generation, teaching, or research.
