Anonymous Reporting System as an Effort to Improve the Reporting Culture of Patient Safety Incidents
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Incident reporting systems are essential mechanisms designed to gather information regarding patient safety incidents within hospitals. An effective reporting system can prevent the recurrence of similar incidents in the future by ensuring the safety of informants, allowing them to report without fear of negative repercussions, such as threats or intimidation related to the information provided.
Materials and Methods: This research utilized a True Experimental design with a Posttest Only Control Group Design, incorporating both control and intervention groups. Data collection was conducted through a Patient Safety Incident Reporting System utilizing Google Forms. The data collection instrument consisted of a questionnaire designed for reporting patient safety incidents.
Results: The findings indicated a notable increase in the number of anonymous reports of patient safety incidents. However, there were no significant differences in the timeliness and completeness of data between the anonymous and conventional reporting systems.
