What is the completion timeframe for a timely peer review after the review is initiated?

The completion timeframe for a timely peer review after the review is initiated is typically set at 90 days. This duration is established to ensure that the process remains efficient and allows sufficient time for thorough evaluation without unnecessary delays. Completing the review within this timeframe helps maintain the integrity and quality of the review process, ensuring that the findings are relevant and current.

A 90-day period strikes a balance between allowing ample time for the reviewers to access and analyze the necessary data while also encouraging prompt conclusions that can lead to timely actions or improvements in practice. Extended timeframes might lead to issues related to the relevance of the findings, potential changes in practice, or the loss of valuable insights. Thus, setting the standard at 90 days aligns with best practices in quality management and assurance.
