Fields to include

Useful fields include incident date, client or participant reference, location, incident type, immediate action, notifications, report completed by, risk rating if used, follow-up owner, due date, completion date, and review notes.

Common questions

Does every incident need a register entry?

Providers should follow their own incident management process. In many teams, the register is used to track incidents that require review, follow-up, or oversight.
