title: Challenges to effective incident review management: administrative and clinical factors.
abstract: Incident review (IR) is a process for achieving a better understanding of problems related to the health and safety of clients and the integrity of healthcare facilities. The IR process ensures that the quality and the performance of care in a facility continue to be maintained and improved over time. Because of the practical realities of administrative and clinical care issues, the process of implementing IR and related interventions is often challenging. This paper examines the IR process and the barriers that affect and impede it.
