Topic overview
In 2014, we developed a QI-directed Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) Conference, prioritizing discussion of individual and system failures, as well as development of action items to prevent failure recurrence. However, due to a reliance on individual electronic documents to store M&M data, our ability to assess trends in failures and action item implementation was hindered. To address this issue, in 2019, we created a secure electronic health record (EHR)-integrated web application (web app) to store M&M data.
