Understanding Incident Reporting and Occurrence Variance Reports
Incident reporting refers to the systematic documentation of unexpected events, errors, or near misses that occur during patient care. Occurrence variance reports specifically detail deviations from standard procedures or protocols that may impact patient safety or quality of care. Both tools are essential for identifying risks, analyzing root causes, and implementing corrective actions.
