Explanation of how these components ensure appropriate utilization and quality of care.

Main Results:

Hospitals are mandated to implement integrated review systems under UR requirements or PSRO.
These systems utilize peer review, norms, criteria, and standards.
Deficiencies in care quality, administration, or appropriateness are identified and corrected via continuing medical education.

Conclusions:

PSROs initially focus on hospital review but are poised to expand to community-wide peer review.
This system supports appropriate utilization and enhances healthcare quality.
The PSRO program integrates quality assurance with continuing medical education for healthcare providers.
