Abstract:
Morbidity and mortality conferences are clinical teaching activities that aim to prevent the occurrence or recurrence of medical errors, assure and improve the quality of healthcare, and enhance the clinical competency of medical students. At present, most teaching hospitals in China do not regularly carry out such teaching activities or organize them improperly and thus fail to achieve the desired effect. This study introduces morbidity and mortality conferences into the clinical teaching of nephrology and aims to systematically analyze the potential factors causing adverse events, summarize related experience, and formulate improvement measures, so as to maintain medical safety and improve medical service. Meanwhile, results from the questionnaires completed by medical students who attended the conferences showed that such clinical teaching activities might help to enhance the core competency of medical students. Therefore, active construction and continuous improvement of morbidity and mortality conferences have an important significance for the high-quality development of healthcare system and medical education in China.
