This meeting is meant to serve as an internal review committee managing safety issues in the perioperative arena.

The group is attended by representatives from surgery and anesthesia, both physicians and nurses as well as the perioperative leaders of Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. We also plan and review topics for the quarterly MM&I conferences at MCJCHV.
