Research Mission

MPOG Research systematically transforms real-world perioperative health data into actionable knowledge through timely and innovative research projects. This work is facilitated by providing resources for research to be completed using the MPOG data registry. We seek to disseminate findings via high-impact journals and professional forums, and implement knowledge for improving patient care via our complementary Quality Improvement mission.

Complete Patient Capture

Get data with “true denominators”, through non-sampled capture of all anesthetics performed at participating sites.

Data Granularity

Take advantage of minute-to-minute physiologic, medication, and ventilator data available within the most well-monitored of real-world health settings.

Feedback

Benefit from reviews by high-impact journal editors and thought-leaders, during malleable, early design stages of research projects prior to manuscript submission.

Integrated Surgical Registries

Link granular MPOG intraoperative process-of-care data with rigorously reviewed surgical registry outcomes data, to perform highly innovative and informative research.

Academic & Community Hospitals

Leverage data obtained from both university-affiliated and community hospitals, reflective of care processes across a wide continuum of healthcare delivery systems.

Comprehensive Research Tools

Use powerful, user-friendly research tools which democratize access to big data: including query design, curation, visualization, and analysis.
