Impaired executive functioning mediates the association between aging and deterministic sequence learning.

Sensitivity to the fixed ordering of actions and events, or deterministic sequence learning, is an important skill throughout adulthood. Yet, it remains unclear whether age deficits in sequencing exist, and we lack a firm understanding of which factors might contribute to age-related impairments when they arise. Though debated, executive functioning, governed by the frontal lobe, may underlie age-related sequence learning deficits in older adults.

This report outlines an exploratory study that investigated whether the "Never Events" system - first used in healthcare contexts to identify and investigate preventable incidents that cause serious harm or death as a result of human error - could be adapted in the context of UK multi-agency child protection. Using a sequential design, two online surveys were carried out that explored practitioners' (n = 46) views about the feasibility of adopting the Never Events model and what, if any, incidents or events could be investigated plausibly using such a model. Practitioners were drawn from a purposive sample.

Year-to-year trends in emergency medicine morbidity and mortality cases.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Department of Emergency Medicine, One Deaconess Road, Rosenberg 2, Boston, MA 02215, United States.

Background: Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) rounds are peer review conferences during which cases with adverse outcomes and difficult management decisions are presented. Their primary objective is to learn from complications and errors, modify behavior and judgment based on previous experiences, and prevent repetition of errors leading to complications. The objective of this study was to determine if M&M conferences can reduce repetitive error making demonstrated by a shift of the incidence of cases presented at M&M by chief complaint (CC) and experience of attendings.
