Incident Reporting

For all of the efforts put forth in risk analysis and risk management, errors and incidents will continue to occur. All health care organizations need incident and accident reports. This discussion thread concentrates on this type of reporting and analysis.

Based on additional resources found on the IHI and HCCA Web sites, create a one-page incident report. Please state the type of health care environment (for example, hospital, physician’s office, etc.) and the type of incident your report would be used for in this environment. Attach your word document to this discussion thread.
