Abstract

A revised incident reporting system that combined an abbreviated logging procedure for documenting minor incidents and a more comprehensive and detailed procedure for documenting major incidents was pilot tested in three New York State adult psychiatric centers. The pilot test had two major goals: to reduce the volume of work associated with current reporting procedures, and to facilitate even more thorough investigation of incidents warranting prompt and comprehensive review. Evaluation of pilot study data showed that a logging procedure is viable for the management of minor incidents.
