title: Voluntary incident reporting tool for a multi-facility environment.
abstract: As awareness of medical errors increases, innovative solutions are required to address these errors so that healthcare providers can be proactive rather than reactive. The development of an enterprise-wide voluntary incident reporting application will provide a mechanism to organize and prioritize resources toward correction of processes that could endanger patients.
