A core team of senior quality consultants prepares the selected cases for presentation, gathering and reviewing information that may have caused the case. Hospital physicians, residents, and staff are encouraged to attend the MM&I. During the MM&I meetings the leader reminds the participants of MM&I's confidentiality. Resident leaders present the cases and literature relating to the cases. Then the participants discuss and identify issues that may have led to the undesirable outcome. At the end of the conference, the leader reminds the participants of the MM&I's confidentiality once again and evaluates the conference. References External links Carter, Laura Stephenson.
