We would like to share our method for introducing innovation into pediatric surgeons’
routines. We believe it is vital to involve clinicians in innovation processes to
grow the innovative mindset, and we have found the saying “necessity is the mother
of invention” to be true as many innovations come on the heels of problems. In our
quest to expand the culture of innovation, we went where the worst surgical problems
are discussed – the weekly Morbidity & Mortality (M&M) conference – transforming an
at times intimidating conference into a more exciting discussion. We call our new
format “Morbidity, Mortality, and Innovation” (MM&I), and through it we aim to simultaneously
encourage a culture of innovation and produce innovative solutions in an abbreviated
timeframe.
