During this period, four peer reviewers were assigned to review two audits (two reviewers per audit). The audits were selected for peer review by the PMO. The auditors were notified of their selection and given thirty days to upload documentation in support of their audit findings for standards 115.33. 115.41, 115.42, and 115.53. The peer reviewers completed a conflict of interest assessment and signed confidentiality agreements prior to receiving access to their assigned peer review audit. Three of the peer reviewers have completed all portions of the peer review, including a review of the relevant portions of the final audit report as well as a thorough review of all documentation that the auditor submitted in support of their compliance findings. Following their review of all documentation, the peer reviewers completed and submitted the peer review reporting form. One peer reviewed audit is complete and the second will be complete when the last peer reviewer finishes her review.

Recruit Peer Reviewers
Milestone Description

To expand our capacity to conduct up to five peer reviews per quarter, requiring a total of ten peer reviewers, without any identifiable conflict of interest with the agency, facility, or auditor being reviewed, we required additional peer reviewers. After creating a list of auditors who demonstrated excellent auditing practice in concert with the PMO and staff at the PRC, we asked the identified auditors to submit an application and to provide documentation of their auditing work. After careful consideration of those applications, ten auditors were selected to become peer reviewers. They will attend training in January, 2021 and will be ready to begin peer review work following completion of that training.
