Background: Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conferences are common practice among internal medicine (IM) residency programs, but their effect on education and patient safety (PS) is inconsistent.[1,2] Existing research reports have struggled to identify best practices for implementing M&M conferences due to inherent variability in personnel and adverse event analysis processes. We need interventions that account […]

Prior to January 2021, our institution did not have a standardized rapid response note template to facilitate best clinical documentation practices. A review of rapid response events at our institution that occurred during […]
