IM Bulletin

ODP Announcement 21-088 announces the release of an updated Certified Investigator Peer Review Manual and notifies providers that Temple University will begin its 2021–2022 peer review process on December 1, 2021.

This document replaces the manual that was published in 2018. All prospective and current CIs, Administrative Review Committee (ARE) members, and other administrative staff are required to be familiar with the peer review process guidelines that are outlined in the manual. Prospective and current CIs, ARE members, and other administrative staff should review the entire 2021 Certified Investigator Peer Review Manual to ensure their understanding and use of the standards and protocols contained within it.

To align with Incident Management (IM) Bulletin 00-21-02 (which was issued March 1, 2021, and became effective on July 1, 2021) and the Enterprise Incident Management (EIM) system, several new or expanded topics have been added to the manual. The 2021 Certified Investigator Peer Review Manual can be found on MyODP by using the following path:

  • Training > Certified Investigator Program > CI Help and Resources > All Documents > Manuals; or
  • By clicking: 2021 Certified Investigator Peer Review Process Manual.

In addition to the release of the 2021 Certified Investigator Peer Review Manual, Temple University will begin its 2021–2022 peer review process on December 1, 2021. Provider investigations will be selected at random, and notifications will be sent by Temple University to inform providers of the incidents selected for review.

If you have any questions regarding the 2021 Certified Investigator Peer Review Manual or Peer Review process, please contact Temple directly.

All prospective and current Administrative Review Committee members are required to be familiar with the Administrative Review Process guidelines that are outlined in the manual.

These changes were made in order to align with Incident Management (IM) Bulletin 00-21-02 (which was issued March 1, 2021 and became effective on July 1, 2021) and the Enterprise Incident Management (EIM) system. Several new or expanded topics have been added to the manual. Major changes to the new manual include:

  • How to complete committee responsibilities while using new EIM functionality changes;
  • How to complete the Administrative Review Information, Administrative Review Summary, Preventative Corrective Actions, and Additional Corrective Actions in EIM;
  • How to complete the Certified Investigator Report and Administrative Review Committee Report forms that are fillable and consistent with screens in EIM;
  • A glossary of terms that are relevant to both the Certified Investigator and the Administrative Review Committee; and
  • How to ensure core principles of objectivity, speed/timeliness, and thoroughness are present while reviewing critical incident investigations.

If you have any questions regarding the 2021 Administrative Review Process Manual, please submit them via email.
