Learning from Morbidity and Mortality Conferences
Focus and Sustainability of Lessons for Patient Care
Objective It remains unclear to what extent the morbidity and mortality conference (M&M) meets the objective of improving quality and safety of patient care. It has been suggested that M&M may be too focused on individual performance, hampering system-level improvement. T

Connecting perspectives on quality and safety
Patient-level linkage of incident, adverse event and complaint data
Background and objective Incident, adverse event (AE) and complaint data are typically used separately, but may be related at the patient level with one event triggering a cascade of events, ultimately resulting in a complaint. This study examined relations between incidents, AEs
