From the Cardiothoracic Imaging Division, Department of Radiology, University of Michigan, Taubman Center B1-132D, 1500 E Medical Center Dr, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-5302 (M.M.H.S., E.C.S., G.E.M., L.E.Q., P.P.A.); and Abdominal Imaging Division and Michigan Radiology Quality Collaborative, Department of Radiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich (P.R.S.).

Medical errors may lead to patient harm and may also have a devastating effect on medical providers, who may suffer from guilt and the personal impact of a given error (second victim experience). While it is important to recognize and remedy errors, it should be done in a way that leads to long-standing practice improvement and focuses on systems-level opportunities rather than in a punitive fashion. Traditional peer review systems are score based and have some undesirable attributes. The authors discuss the differences between traditional peer review systems and peer learning approaches and offer practical suggestions for transitioning to peer learning conferences. Peer learning conferences focus on learning opportunities and embrace errors as an opportunity to learn. The authors also discuss various types and sources of errors relevant to the practice of radiology and how discussions in peer learning conferences can lead to widespread system improvement. In the authors' experience, these strategies have resulted in practice improvement not only at a division level in radiology but in a broader multidisciplinary setting as well.
