Popis: BACKGROUND Surgical Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conference lacks a standardized structure across institutions. We compared implementation of structure and National Surgical Quality Improvement Program's (NSQIP) definitions to organize our M&M and identify cases for discussion versus the usually used method at many centers of case identification by an attending surgeon or resident. METHODS AND MATERIALS A prospective study was performed, over a 10-wk period, to compare the identification of adverse events and the educational value of our M&M conference before and after implementation of structured NSQIP-defined presentations. Chart review was performed by a trained surgical clinical reviewer and trained NSQIP resident of all cases over the study period to identify NSQIP-defined occurrences. All presented M&Ms were evaluated for adequate reporting of adverse events and areas for improvement on a three-point scale. Surveys were administered before and after intervention to assess educational value to resident and faculty on a five-point Likert scale. Survey and presentation data were compared using Student's t-tests. P-values
