Pune Adventist Hospital uses incident reports to record and learn from unusual occurrences at the facility. There are three types of incidents that should be reported: near misses within 24 hours, adverse events within 2 hours, and sentinel events immediately. Staff are required to report any incident or accident that causes or has potential to harm. When reporting an incident, the staff member should obtain a form, write an accurate first person account of what happened chronically and factually, and submit it to their department head. The department head will do an initial assessment while the quality team will perform a root cause analysis to prevent future risks and reduce blame.
