error reporting

How Should Errors Be Reported?

The process for reporting errors typically involves several steps:
Immediately address any immediate threats to patient safety.
Document the error in the patient's medical record and in the institution’s error reporting system.
Inform the appropriate supervisory personnel, such as a nurse manager or risk management department.
Participate in any follow-up investigations or root cause analysis to understand how the error occurred and how it can be prevented in the future.
