Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Medical Humanism

Background:

  • Morbidity and mortality conferences (MMCs) traditionally focus on education and quality improvement.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for a more humanistic approach in medical settings.
  • Current literature on MMCs primarily emphasizes quality improvement, neglecting provider well-being and patient satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the humanization of Morbidity and Mortality Conferences (MMCs).
  • To propose restructuring MMCs to include reflection on the human aspects of medical care.
  • To decrease medical provider burnout and improve patient satisfaction through enhanced MMCs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on existing Morbidity and Mortality Conferences (MMCs).
  • Analysis of the evolution and roles of MMCs in academic medicine.
  • Development of recommendations for humanizing MMCs.

Main Results:

  • Most studies on MMCs focus on quality improvement, not humanistic elements.
  • There is a significant gap in addressing medical provider burnout and patient satisfaction within MMCs.
  • Humanizing MMCs requires incorporating principles of compassion, empathy, and respect.

Conclusions:

  • MMCs need a second evolution to integrate humanistic principles, addressing provider well-being.
  • Restructuring MMCs to allow for reflection and storytelling is crucial.
  • Humanizing MMCs can revitalize the core spirit of medicine, focusing on health and healing.
