QUESTION: Do any organizations have a formal debriefing process for internal incidents that they will share? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. All internal incidents are analyzed by person, cost center, and incident type. The data is analyzed monthly by a quality assurance team. Data is trended for a calendar year. An action plan is developed for each identified trend. The quality assurance team follows up with the status of each action plan. The quality assurance team submits a quarterly and yearend report to the agency’s safety committee. The safety committee reviews identified trends and makes additional recommendations to teams/departments for further follow through.
