Subject in Focus
Managing Incident Reporting System
INCIDENT- An incident is an unfavourable event that affects patient or staff safety.
Example- Physical injuries, Medical errors, Equipment failure, Administration, Patient care, etc
REPORTING SYSTEM - Process of collecting incident data and presenting it properly.
• Problem highlighted in a non-blaming way.
• Designated staff with authority or staff who has witnessed an incident first
\n• Usually, nurses or other hospital staff file the report
\n• 24 to 48 hours after the incident occurred: outcomes improve as the memories of the event are still fresh.
\nPatient Incidence Type:
\nPurpose of Incident Reporting
• To communicate information to Administrators.
\n• Information sheds light on measures that need to be taken to provide effective patient
care as well as keep the facility running smoothly.
Reports helps Administrator with:
\n
\n• Risk management - Knowing that an incident has occurred leads administrators to
correct actions - This reduces the risk of similar incidents in the future.
• Quality control - Medical facilities want to provide the best care and customer
service possible. Reviewing incident reports reveals areas that could be
improved.
• Training - Using resolved patient incident reports to train new staff helps prepare
them for real situations and current staff to learn from their own or others’
mistakes preventing incidents from reoccurring.
• Legal evidence - Should a patient take legal action following their incident, a
thorough incident report is the most important part of any defence. Thus, all
reports should be timely, complete and accurate.

\nDrawbacks
