RN Peer Reviewers

As the largest federal provider of healthcare, the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA) peer review program is a critical element of quality management and demonstrates the agency's commitment to provide the highest quality care possible for veterans. Past audits of peer reviews conducted internally by VHA staff identified opportunities for improving the peer review process within VHA. To facilitate implementation of the requirements of VHA Directive 1190 and to develop a process for improving the rigor and objectivity of peer review, the VHA sought national contractors with proven expertise in conducting peer review across all provider disciplines. PRI is proud to be identified as one of these contractors and anticipates completing 1,500 reviews annually.

PRI is actively recruiting interested RN professionals for this work. RN’s will be needed to complete the anticipated 375 cases per quarter. RN Peer Reviewers are especially needed in the fields of: • Anticoagulation • Cardiology • Hematology/Oncology • IV/Infusion • Mental Health • Circulating • Critical Care/ICU/Cath Lab • Emergency Medicine • Home Health • Hospice/Palliative Care • Post Anesthesia • Psychiatric Mental Health • Surgical • Transplant • Wound Care • Operating Room

Reviews are completed electronically on the VA's Community Viewer and typically take 1-2 hours to complete. Reviewers must complete an abbreviated Personal Identification Verification (PIV) process that includes being fingerprinted at a local PIV Office/VA and completing three forms. There is no charge to be fingerprinted, and reviewers will be compensated for the time spent completing the process.
