We define incident reporting as the act of reporting incidents that occur in healthcare environments. Incidents include any situations in which clients experience negative consequences of interventions that are not carried out according to agreed procedures. One obvious example is the wrongful administration of medications. Please allow us to explain why it is essential to ensure that OHS incident reporting thresholds remain as low as possible.
Fast and effective incident reporting is at the very core of ongoing, shared improvement of healthcare processes. Our integrated online incident reporting and incident management software solutions enable fast, accurate reports ready to pair with fitting, comprehensive responses. Incident reporting solutions must fit your organisational goals, your staff and methods, and most importantly, the interests and health of your clients.
Nonetheless, incident reporting starts with awareness among all staff, understanding fully why incident reporting is so important in healthcare. Even though the relevance of incident and near-incident reporting appears obvious to anyone in theory, in practice we regularly see how mistakes that have already been corrected are ultimately not reported. After all, why should one report incidents when the situation has already been resolved?
Our incident reporting aims to remove obstacles by offering integrated solutions. In doing so, TPSC promotes care process optimisation rather than mere incident registration. To this end, we design our software based on the following basic principles:
Once everyone is fully aware of how reporting incidents improves healthcare quality and helps prevent future incidents from occurring, staff will find it easier to report such incidents. The software provided by The Patient Safety Company ensures that incident reporting becomes a clear-cut, simple procedure that facilitates constant improvement of the care you provide.
