An incident report in a healthcare setting is used to document any occurrence out of the normal range of expected healthcare processes that could potentially result in harm to patients, staff, or visitors. It is not a disciplinary record for the staff but serves as a means to identify potential risks and prevent future incidents by allowing for analysis and quality improvement strategies. This is important for maintaining a safe healthcare environment and for legal documentation purposes.
