✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Many healthcare organizations maintain two systems for documenting incidents reports:

• A paper incident report system completed by staff and managers and

• A computerized system where clerical staff duplicate the same information in a database

This article discusses the way risk managers in hospitals and healthcare organizations can reduce paperwork and more rapidly address the implementation of a point of service computerized system to document incidents. The benefits of such a system include:

• Real‐time information and trending of occurrences

• Reduced liability by securing reports earlier

• Maintaining a higher level of confidentiality

• Earlier problem resolution

• Providing a valuable link between the risk, quality, and safety functions of the organization
