Morbidity and Mortality Rounds in Rehabilitation —Benefits for Enhancing Quality Beyond Just the “M & M ”

Morbidity and Mortality Rounds (MMRs) have long been employed in acute care hospitals to review and learn from medical errors, particularly those that resulted in significant patient harm [1-3]. With the ever-increasing focus on patient safety in health care, MMRs have been adopted across many specialties as a forum for critical incident review using a systems-based approach to identify root causes of quality and safety gaps, and improve future care delivery [4-6].
