Independent Reviewer
An Independent Reviewer (pronunciation: /ɪndɪˈpɛndənt rɪˈvjuːər/) is a professional who conducts an impartial assessment of a particular subject matter, often in the field of medicine or healthcare. The role of an Independent Reviewer is crucial in ensuring the validity and reliability of research studies, clinical trials, and medical procedures.
Etymology
The term 'Independent Reviewer' is derived from the English words 'independent', meaning free from outside control or influence, and 'reviewer', meaning a person who formally assesses or examines something with the possibility or intention of instituting change if necessary.
Role and Responsibilities
An Independent Reviewer is responsible for conducting an unbiased review of a particular subject matter. This may involve assessing the methodology of a research study, the safety and efficacy of a clinical trial, or the appropriateness of a medical procedure. The Independent Reviewer's findings are then used to inform decisions about the subject matter, such as whether a research study's findings are valid, whether a clinical trial should proceed, or whether a medical procedure is appropriate.
