Abstract
Purpose – The aim of this paper is to generate a debate regarding the value of incident reporting in the UK. Design/methodology/approach – This paper critiques the dominant approach to patients in the UK. Findings – It is suggested that the reliability of health care processes would need to substantially improve before an incident reporting system can have a meaningful impact on patient safety. Practical implications – Greater benefits in patient safety will be accrued by focusing resources on designing reliable processes rather than the extension of incident reporting. Originality/value – This paper offers a local perspective on a potentially flawed national strategy.
