Reframing the Surgical Morbidity and Mortality Conference: Raising the Standard for All
Topic overview
This article examines how traditional surgical morbidity and mortality conferences can be restructured to overcome recall and reluctance bias while generating actionable quality improvement outcomes. The authors propose reframing M&M conferences as more effective patient safety tools rather than purely retrospective case reviews.
Key takeaways
- Traditional M&M conferences suffer from recall and reluctance bias, limiting their effectiveness in driving patient safety improvements.
- Reframing M&M conferences can transform them from passive review sessions into active quality improvement and patient safety drivers.
- Effective M&M conferences require structured output and actionable follow-up, not just case discussion and didactic learning.
