Implementation of standardized patient safety and quality improvement rounds in a tertiary care paediatric centre.

Introduction: Patient safety is increasingly becoming a major priority for healthcare institutions, and various models of these rounds exist. The Ottawa M&M Model (OM3) is a structured and standardized approach to patient safety and quality improvement rounds that has been implemented at other institutions across Canada with good success.

Methods: This quality improvement project invited divisions within the Children's Hospital in London, Ontario to participate in the implementation of the OM3 for M&M rounds.
