I. Introduction
Incident Reporting Systems (IRS) are currently one of most prevalent safety improvement strategies in healthcare. However, IRS have proven to be inherently problematic as clinicians and health scientists struggle with issues affecting IRS’ perceived and actual utility. Problems arise due to the fact “sentinel/ seminal/never events/adverse events” (all terms to describe events that should not happen in healthcare) are usually uncommon and difficult to detect. IRS are prone to biases and create high-cost information and are that clinicians, patient safety practitioners and researchers must be aware of when using them to conduct evaluations. , Recent literature suggest patient safety experts recognize that IRS often do not engender in-depth analyses or lead to robust interventions to reduce risk.

Ultimately, the three components must work together to accurately assess patient safety rates during an evaluation to assess frequencies among different locations or points in time. Proper attention to the necessities and limitations that each element pose are explored in the subsequent section. (Section V) At minimum, inferential statistics also require similar requirements to create a sample size for an entire survey sample. A discussion of biostatics theories shedding light on the three necessary components and their limitations can be found in Section VI: Limitations of patient safety rates to compare different facilities?
