Patient Safety Incident Reporting

A patient safety incident is any event or circumstance which could have resulted, or did result, in unexpected or normally avoidable harm to a patient receiving care. All safety incidents need to be reported as soon as it is safe to do so.

SHA Incident Classification for Severity Rating of Patient Safety Incidents

The Incident Classification Scale is based on three different types of patient safety incidents:

• Near Miss: Incident did not reach the patient.
• No Harm Incident: Incident reached the patient, but no discernable harm resulted.
• Harmful Incident: Incident resulted in harm to the patient.
