Rivera-Chiauzzi EY, Smith HA, Moore-Murray T, et al. Healing our own: a randomized trial to assess benefits of peer support. J Patient Saf. 2022;18(1):e308-e314. doi:10.1097/pts.0000000000000771.
Peer support programs are increasingly used to support clinicians involved in adverse events. This evaluation found that a structured peer support program for providers involved in obstetric adverse events can effectively support providers in short periods of time (for example, 92% of participants did not need follow-up after second peer support contact) and can be initiated with limited resources.
