Who We Are:

We are anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, nurses, surgeons, quality improvement experts, computer programmers, statisticians, researchers, and administrators brought together by a passion for healthcare improvement.

What We Do:

MPOG uses health data to study how patient characteristics, healthcare systems, surgical procedures, perioperative care, and postoperative outcomes interact to shape clinical results. The registry is built through collaboration with participating hospitals, using automated processes to extract institutional data that is then validated by clinicians before being submitted to the coordinating center at the University of Michigan. There, the data is transformed for use in research, quality improvement, and education. MPOG fosters an environment of innovation and collaboration, guided by member‑driven priorities through the MPOG Quality Committee, the Perioperative Clinical Research Committee, and the Executive Board.

What We Have Accomplished:

Our dedicated team facilitates simultaneous prospective, retrospective, and enhanced observational trials and has developed and maintained a portfolio of over 90 quality improvement metrics. Over the last decade, we have built a perioperative patient registry of more than 35 million anesthetic cases integrated across 89 hospitals representing the most comprehensive and detailed global perioperative anesthesiology registry.
