The Medical Staff Quality Committee (MSQC) provides a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary forum for the development and implementation of department, service, and facility-based peer review policies, procedures, programs, and initiatives for the purpose of improving patient care/safety and reducing morbidity and mortality. This is a regularly scheduled series that reviews and evaluates specific cases related to healthcare provider practice performance. The MSQC determines the appropriateness...

Aortic stenosis is the second most common valvular disease in the United States and the most common type of heart valve disease of the aging population. It is present in about 5% of the population at age 65 and the prevalence increases to more than 20% in advanced age patients. The number of cases of aortic valvular disease continues to increase because of the ageing populations in the service area. It is deceptive in onset and frequently associated with other comorbidities. Transcatheter aortic...

Approximately 39.5% of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes. By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million. This conference reviews specific GU cancer cases to determine best practices, clinical approaches, and appropriate epidemiology for optimal patient outcomes. The cases present disciplinary problem(s) for which learners devise solutions under facilitation of th...

Why This is Important: Twenty million Americans experience some form of neuropathy, and 16% of U.S. households contain an individual with a brain impairment. One hundred million people have chronic pain, 70 million experience sleep/wakefulness problems, and 69 million have vestibular and balance disorders; altogether, these cases constitute 54% of incidents of the top 10 neurologic diseases. The prevalence of migraines alone is 28 million. Additionally, nearly 500,000 cases of brain tumor, multi...

The burden of deaths and disability caused by neurological disorders is increasingly being recognized as a global public health challenge, and its burden is set to rise during the next few decades because of the population aging. In 2019, regionwide neurological conditions accounted for 533,172 deaths: (40%) in men, and 320,043 (60%) in women. The goal of morbidity and mortality case reviews (M&Ms) is to identify correctible deficiencies in provider practices, system failures, and patient behavi...
