MPOG QI empowers perioperative teams to understand practice variation and identify opportunities for improvement. Guided by our complementary Research mission, we develop performance measures, share evidence-based tools, and build dashboards for benchmarking. Providers stay engaged through individualized reports that connect performance to practice. Our goal is to foster collaboration across sites and advance the quality of perioperative care.
We include all cases requiring anesthetic care; no sampling. All data is reviewed and cleaned, and a limited dataset (no PHI, except date-of-service) is uploaded to the MPOG registry.
Includes physiologic, ventilator, medication, preoperative, and postoperative data; from 4 hours before Anesthesia Start to 6 hours after Anesthesia End.
The MPOG Quality Committee is comprised of anesthesia providers and quality experts from around the world to develop metrics and design initiatives to improve the way anesthesia care is delivered.
MPOG supports the integration of data from both national and local surgical data registries, such as: STS, NSQIP, and Michigan based Collaborative Quality Initiatives (CQIs).
Our members range from large academic centers to small community hospitals. This diversity in practice creates a rich learning environment.
MPOG has developed institutional and provider feedback applications and tools that enable participants to analyze performance and implement QI programs.
