Quality of Care

An interesting paper examining the discussion of medical errors in morbidity and mortality conferences was published in JAMA.

It found that in GIM M+M conferences case presentations were longer than those in surgery M+M. Less time was spent on audience discussion, fewer case presentations included adverse events or errors causing adverse events. At surgery M+M, errors were more likely (P=.17) to be attributed solely to an individual rather than a team or system.
