Abstract

Mortality rates have emerged as one of the main metrics determining quality of care within a hospital. In an effort to evaluate cases, this article illustrates the use of the Institute of Healthcare Improvement Global Trigger Tool as well as the implementation of a 3-prong review process in a large, urban teaching facility. In addition, the findings of the evaluation process are shared.
