Research
The goal of MPOG research is to accelerate outcomes research, investigate perioperative adverse events and publish in high impact journals to advance knowledge and improve patient care.
Quality
Our goal is to improve the care of patients undergoing anesthesia by reducing unexplained variation in practice and collaborating with anesthesia providers to define best practices.
Education
MPOG holds several meetings per year that allow us to share new ideas, learn from our colleagues, and work with industry leaders to create a rich learning environment.
Collaboration
By combining data with a culture of collaboration, MPOG creates an environment of performance improvement and research using priorities driven by its members.
Data
More than 17 million anesthetic cases integrated across over 60 hospitals represent the most comprehensive and detailed global perioperative anesthesiology registry.
Infrastructure
MPOG uses electronic health record and administrative data to analyze the interplay between patient co-morbidities, surgical procedure, perioperative care, interventions, and postoperative outcomes.
