Preliminary Results: Key messages
• Respondents have an incident reporting system in place
• Electronic systems vary and many sites use more than one system (electronic and/or paper)
• High degree of conformance with standards framework
• BUT current differences would constrain attempts at national reporting
NEXT STEPS
• Complete full analysis of all responses.• Prepare and publish status report.• Consider findings and possible options
for enabling the aggregation of incident data nationally.
