This paper describes the experience of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario in developing and conducting a program for the peer assessment of physicians' office practices that would allow the standards of medical practice to be reviewed and assessed. Following two pilot projects in 1978 and 1979 that demonstrated the need, the feasibility and the acceptance of a peer assessment program the office practices of 391 randomly selected physicians were reviewed in 1981 and 1982. Included in the sample were 255 general/family practitioners and 136 specialists in seven fields. Serious deficiencies were found in the medical records of or in the care provided by 30 of the general/family practitioners and 3 of the specialists, accounting for 8% of the practices studied. The difference between the two groups of physicians was statistically significant (p less than 0.01). No predictors of significance were demonstrated in the general/family practitioner group. When follow-up assessments were done most of the physicians were found to have made the improvements that had been recommended.
