Program Description: 

Pediatric Event Review and Active Learning (PEaRL): Diverging from a traditional “M&M” format, this quarterly conference series offers a psychologically safe atmosphere to discuss unexpected or adverse patient outcomes, with a focus on support, learning, and practice improvement. A case is discussed in detail focusing not only on medical aspects, but also on psychosocial aspects and personal impact on physicians and other providers.

Target audience: 
  • Physicians
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Physician Assistants

Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:

  • Define and understand basic patient safety terms such as adverse event, near miss, and root cause analysis.
  • Identify the potential for error within the system.
  • Recognize and define key types of medical errors.
  • Describe the different types of cognitive errors.
  • Demonstrate effective teamwork skills involved in error analysis and root cause analysis.
