Abstract
Traditional score-based peer review has come under scrutiny in recent years, as studies have demonstrated it to be generally ineffective at improving quality. Many practices and programs are transitioning to a peer learning model to replace or supplement traditional peer review. Peer learning differs from traditional score-based peer review in that the emphasis is on sharing learning opportunities and creating an environment that fosters discussion of errors in a nonpunitive forum with the goal of improved patient care. Creating a just culture is central to fostering successful peer learning. In a just culture, mistakes can be discussed without shame or fear of retribution and the focus is on systems improvement rather than individual blame. Peer learning, as it pertains to breast imaging, can occur in many forms and venues. Examples of the various formats in which peer learning can occur include through individual colleague interaction, as well as divisional, multidisciplinary, department-wide, and virtual conferences, and with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Incorporating peer learning into the practice of breast imaging aims to reduce delayed diagnoses of breast cancer and optimize patient care.
