“…17,18 When assigned prior to the commencement of a conference, active interventions such as the incorporation of dual process theory, metacognition, 19 and the use of a predetermined teaching point have been shown to enhance morbidity and mortality discussions. 20 Giesbrecht et al discuss past studies suggesting that the most essential components of a successful M&M conference included defining the role of the review committee, involving stakeholders, detecting and selecting appropriate cases, structuring goal-directed discussion, and producing recommendations with timely follow-up. 21 The Morbidity and Mortality conference has a long history as an essential component of resident education, as well as a methodology to review medical errors and critical decision-making within a medical department.…”

“…This stands in contrast to numerous past studies which have reinforced the view that multidisciplinary involvement is essential for the application of lessons learned in M&M conferences to systematic quality improvement. 4,16,20,22,26,27 Not unexpectedly, the methodology most often used for the identification of M&M cases was self-reporting, especially given past evidence that despite electronic health record documentation, adverse event report is still overwhelmingly reliant on self-reports. 28 Some of the largest variability occurred when assessing what formats are being used to present morbidity and mortality cases.…”

Background: Morbidity and mortality (M&M) conferences are essential components for resident education and provide a valuable tool to improve patient safety and quality of care. M&M conferences help identify important gaps in safety and reduce avoidable events in future patient care. Active methods to improve the utilization of M&M conferences have been shown to enhance their educational value for residents, faculty and multidisciplinary teams in healthcare institutions. Objective: The purpose of this study was to use a survey-based methodology to assess how morbidity and mortality conferences are conducted in residency programs, including characteristics such as frequency, involvement of personnel and the effects of COVID-19. Methods: From February to October 2021, a validated 19 question survey was electronically distributed to residency program directors in anesthesiology, emergency medicine and general surgery, after a search for email addresses in the ACGME database. The survey was created and hosted on Google Forms. Results: A total of 125 of 713 program directors (17.5%) responded to the survey. Eighty-three percent of respondent programs reported mandatory participation for residents, with residents providing most of the presentations. Case presentations utilized various formats including SBAR, adverse event analysis and root cause analysis as the most common modalities. Though most programs reported no change in frequency of M&M conferences due to COVID-19, most respondents reported a shift to a virtual or hybrid platform. Conclusion: M&M conferences are an important educational and quality improvement modality, and many residency directors changed practice to incorporate virtual platforms due to the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain uninterrupted educational sessions. Nonetheless, significant variation still exists in how these conferences are conducted between different institutions.

Machine Learning Based Preschool Education Quality Assessment System

Preschool education (PE) is the initial stage of life education, and early childhood is an unrepeatable process. PE has the same importance as other education stages because of the significant impact it can have on later childhood development. Furthermore, from the perspective of educational equity theory, every child has the right to receive PE, the right to obtain the same high-quality educational resources, and the right to fair final results. Therefore, the research on the quality of PE has theoretical value and practical significance. In order to strengthen the quality of PE, this paper designs a PE quality assessment system to evaluate teachers’ teaching achievements. In this regard, the performance of each functional module in the system is tested, and the test results show that the module access is successful at more than 97%, indicating that the system meets the operating requirements. This paper uses the characteristics of the KNN algorithm classification in the machine learning algorithm to classify the teaching quality (TQ) of 7 pre-school teachers, and obtains the membership degrees of teachers in the four categories of grades, indicating that the KNN algorithm is more suitable for the classification of TQ assessment results than the general classification algorithm.

“…Tradition and innovation have found a way to coexist in medicine. A significant number of scholarly articles have been published on improving the structure and education value of M&M (5)(6)(7)(8). The unifying themes involve identifying the preventable adverse outcome, highlighting the gaps in the current process that facilitated the outcome and offering quality improvement metrics to provide benchmarks for improvement.…”
