Abstract
The major purpose of the PSRO program is to improve the quality of medical care. Peer review is expected not only to detect problems but to analyze causes, and to develop, implement, and evaluate corrective programs. Such peer-review efforts are in themselves educational. In addition, educational programs focusing on identified deficiencies must be organihe educational efforts of local health facilities and organizations of all types is urged. Although PSRO's will not specifically underwrite continuing health-care education, they should provide a community-wide means for integrating patient-care review with continuing medical education.Keywords
