Emergency Department Morbidity and Mortality Conference is a recurring educational activity held every other month. Selected cases from the emergency department will be reviewed and discussed in a multidisciplinary learning environment. Case discussions will examine clinical decision-making, diagnostic and treatment considerations, systems-based factors, and relevant evidence or best practices. The conference is designed to identify opportunities for improvement, share lessons learned, reduce preventable adverse outcomes, and promote a culture of continuous learning, patient safety, and quality improvement.

1. Analyze emergency department cases to identify clinical, diagnostic, communication, and systems-based factors that contributed to patient outcomes.
2. Apply current evidence-based practices and clinical guidelines to improve decision-making and management of similar patient presentations.
3. Identify opportunities for changes in individual or departmental practice that may improve patient safety, quality of care, and clinical outcomes.

1. Given emergency department case scenarios, participants will analyze factors contributing to patient outcomes, apply evidence-based management principles, and identify opportunities for practice improvement to promote patient safety, quality care, and optimal clinical outcomes. Participants will document one or more intended practice changes on the post-activity evaluation. (Practice)
