Workings of an MDM (I)

1. Announcement of an MDM

Any specialty can bring cases for discussion at the MDM , in particular those cases

which are diagnosed outside the ‘normal pathway’

It is helpful if a coordinator is appointed to collect the cases together, write and

disseminate the agenda before the meeting so that all participants know beforehand which

patients will be discussed, allowing for notes to be organized and reviewed

2. How should cases be presented?

• All relevant patient information should be presented in the most efficient and concise way ;

• Presentations can be verbal but should be backed up by projection .

• MDM is time consuming : thus the presentations would become standardized.
