In the above paragraph, we discussed the importance of the reporting system in the Hospital for near-miss events or any adverse events, in a hospital setting. Healthcare workers should report incidents whenever it occurs; this gives alerts to administrators look into the events and provides management with data that helps prevent repeat mistakes.

Here, we will discuss What makes hospital incident reporting software effective?

According to AHRQ guideline, an effective hospital reporting system has some important characteristics.

1. The system should allow support and protection to the submitter (those who report events)
2. The system should provide equal opportunity among healthcare professionals
3. The effective system should possess a workflow
4. The effective system should have a feature of viewing reports for the future

Let us examine each point in details,

The system should allow support and protection to the submitter (those who report events)

All employee should have an idea about how incident reporting works in their organization. An employee should be encouraged to report events without scared of investigation and punishment. Staffs should be reinforced that the investigation is happening for a better environment for them as well as patients. Going anonymous can lead a huge set back in increasing the reporting process. An effective system should support the submitter but it doesn’t mean that the system may protect them from being investigated and if required give punishment (depends on the action) but the investigation and punishment should be non-biased and blame-free.

The system should provide equal opportunity among healthcare professionals

All healthcare professionals have equal opportunity for accessing the system for reporting events from anywhere in the premises. Easy and quick accessible web portals, Mobile App or desktop app should be available for them. Redwert brings a PWA feature which allows the staffs to report hospital incidents without internet.

The effective system should possess a workflow

An effective system has a flow of work so that no events will go unnoticed it should reach an appropriate person for their action, may it is a reviewing or an approval. Intimations like SMS, Email notifications should help in quick actions.

The effective system should have a feature of viewing reports for the future

It is equally important to archive the documents even after the investigations for analytics purpose. A good system should possess a log register where all investigations and feedback should be readily available not for all but for authorized person for further investigation. Do you have a system in place for managing your Hospital Incidents Effectively? Does your System meet all the requirement as per the guideline? If not, its time for implementation of Redwert Hospital Incident Management System in your organization for better work culture and safe environment.
