**Incident reporting** (report): The full record holds who, what, where, harm, evidence and what happens next.

## What it does

- **One record for every type** Patient, visitor, employee and property incidents, near misses and equipment events, each with its own fields.
- **Drafts survive interruptions** Start a report, get pulled away, finish later. Drafts save and open on any device.
- **Severity and harm built in** Harm level and priority drive routing from the first minute, so a serious event never waits in an inbox.
- **Who was told, and when** Record who was told, like the physician, family, administrator or a regulator, and when.
- **Attachments with quarantine** Photos and documents attach to the record and pass a review before they count as clean.
- **A status workflow** Draft, submitted, triaged, investigating, action in progress, closed, reopened. Closing requires verified corrective actions.

## How it works

1. **Start anywhere** Lauren, a quick report, an email or the full form.
2. **Complete the record** Add fields, narrative, people, attachments and notifications.
3. **Triage and route** Severity and type decide who is paged and who owns it.
4. **Work it to closed** Investigate, fix, verify and sign off.

## Frequently asked questions

### What types of incidents can staff report?

Patient, visitor, employee and property incidents, plus near misses, equipment failures, medication, security and privacy events. Packs set the types and forms for each kind of site.

### Can staff report without a login?

Quick report and email-to-incident cut login friction. The full record is for signed-in staff with the reporter role.

### How is this different from our EHR's event module?

It runs alongside the EHR, so staff do not open a chart to report. It adds what an EHR module usually lacks: investigation, verified fixes, packets and trends.
