This paper focuses on incident reporting systems relevant to the hospital and efforts to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes. Costs associated with incident reporting systems are included wherever possible. This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of hospital incident reporting systems in improving hospital and clinic performance in terms of patient safety, clinical outcomes, costs, and operations, as supported by literature published between 1994 and 2004. Only research evaluating the effectiveness of actual implemented systems, through pre- and post-implementation comparison of safety parameters, was considered. Theoretical models or planned incident reporting systems are not included in this review. ISBN 1-894927-21-4 (online)
