Replacing retrospective review with concurrent review is an example of

  1. A paradigm shift

  2. A process improvement

  3. An empowerment process

  4. Productivity enhancement

The correct answer is: A paradigm shift

Replacing retrospective review with concurrent review represents a paradigm shift. A paradigm shift refers to a fundamental change in the underlying assumptions and practices of a process or system. In this case, moving from retrospective review (which occurs after an event has taken place) to concurrent review (which happens simultaneously as an event unfolds) represents a significant shift in the approach to reviewing processes or outcomes. This change can lead to improved patient outcomes, increased efficiency, and better overall quality of care. Therefore, the correct answer is indeed a paradigm shift.
