Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Safety Systems
  • Database Design

Background:

  • Effective incident reporting is crucial for enhancing healthcare quality and patient safety.
  • Existing systems may not fully capture user needs or technological capabilities.
  • A structured approach is required for designing robust incident reporting mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the initial design of an Incident Reporting Scheme (IRS) for healthcare settings.
  • To identify and incorporate healthcare user needs and expectations into the IRS design.
  • To develop a conceptual model and prototype for the IRS database.

Main Methods:

  • Conducting a survey to determine user needs and expectations for a healthcare incident reporting scheme.

  • Outlining the system's concise description and functional requirements.
  • Developing a conceptual database model and a functional prototype.

    • Main Results:

    • The survey provided insights into user requirements for an effective IRS.
    • A conceptual model for the IRS database was established.
    • A working prototype of the IRS database was successfully developed.

    Conclusions:

    • The initial design and prototype lay the foundation for a functional healthcare Incident Reporting Scheme.
    • Addressing user needs is paramount for the successful implementation of such safety systems.
    • Future development will focus on system enhancements and security considerations.
