Incident Reporting Policy (P80)
Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) NHS Foundation Trust is committed to ensuring the safety of patients, staff, visitors, and contractors alike. DCHS aspires to provide a Zero Harm environment. The policy considers the recommendations of the Department of Health publications: An Organisation with a Memory, Building a Safer NHS, Doing less Harm and the former National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) publication Building a memory: preventing harm, reducing risks and improving patient safety, Berwick report 2013 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and subsequent subsidiary reports. The reporting, management and investigation of adverse incidents are fundamental elements of risk management. Sharing the learning from adverse incidents (including near misses) enables the organisation to implement changes to practice, processes, and systems so that the risk of harm is reduced. In addition to the human costs, if incidents are not properly managed, they may result in a loss of public confidence in the organisation and a loss of assets.
