The conference is attended by faculty and residents, and exchange of ideas and input from the audience is encouraged.
- Morbidity and Mortality Conference (4th Wednesday of the month, 9:00 AM)
Our monthly morbidity and mortality conference is a formal quality-assurance program in which residents present cases to review major morbidities, “near misses” and all mortalities involving rehabilitation patients are discussed. This conference is attended by faculty and residents; therapists, nursing staff, and consultants from other departments may also be invited. There is open, free and constructive discussion of the cases as it relates to quality assurance and improved patient care. Confidentiality is maintained, and the environment promotes individual, group and systems-based interventions to prevent avoidable errors, minimize complications, and improve safety and patient care.
