Accidents and Incidents

Accidents and Incidents

• MCM contains a full accident and incident reporting process
• The basis of the accident and incident forms is evidence captured at the point of care

Best use of MCM

Pressing the 'accident' or 'incident' buttons when recording a care note will generate an accident form under the 'Process' tab in Monitor. Accident/incident care notes will be sent to the handover notes. An accident/incident matrix can be viewed under the 'Analysis' tab in Monitor.

You can use the Group Reporting feature to monitor whether accident and incident forms are being completed in a timely manner.
