Perspectives on perioperative team-based morbidity and mortality conferences: a mixed-methods study.
Team-based morbidity and mortality conferences (TBMMs) involve multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary teams in discussions about complex cases and medical errors. This survey of 1,466 perioperative health care professionals found positive perceptions of TBMMs and traditional Morbidity and Mortality Conferences, but identified several barriers to effective implementation of TBMMs, including unsupportive leadership and fear of professional consequences.
