Completing an Incident Report

Incident Reports are used to document and track reportable events that happen within the facility, including patient-related and internal incidents. To ensure HIPAA compliance and maintain patient confidentiality, these forms must be completed outside of the EMR system and are not attached to the patient record.

Important: The Incident Report must be completed in the Kipu compliance system to ensure compliance and data separation from the EMR.
