    General practitioners successfully engaged in group-based peer review audits. Auditing reduced perceived threats, and expert-defined criteria proved feasible for improving general practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical quality improvement
    • General practice research
    • Healthcare professional development

    Background:

    • Peer review is a key method for enhancing medical practice quality.
    • General practitioners' (GPs) participation in audits can be challenging due to perceived threats and time constraints.
    • Establishing effective audit processes in primary care is crucial for patient safety and care standards.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a group-based peer review project involving general practitioners.
    • To investigate GP motivation for participating in audits.
    • To assess the perceived threat of peer review and the feasibility of using predefined criteria.

    Main Methods:

    • A group-based peer review audit project was implemented.

  • Recruitment strategies focused on motivating general practitioners.
  • Data collection likely involved participation rates, feedback on perceived threats, and adherence to criteria.

    • Main Results:

    • Recruitment and motivation efforts were successful, engaging 253 GPs (72% of those approached).
    • The perceived threat associated with peer review audits diminished quickly for most participating physicians.
    • The application of expert-developed, predefined criteria for optimal practice was found to be feasible.

    Conclusions:

    • Group-based peer review is a viable and effective method for general practitioners.
    • Addressing initial concerns about threats and demonstrating the feasibility of criteria can enhance participation.
    • Findings offer insights for planning and implementing future peer review initiatives in primary care settings.
