The in-depth case review (IDCR) tool assists health services to use a structured, systems-based approach to reviewing adverse patient safety events (APSE).
Involving impacted consumers – Adverse events
Healthcare patients and their families/carers who have been impacted by serious adverse patient safety events are entitled to play a role in internal review processes that seek to understand how their harm occurred.
By involving impacted consumers in adverse event reviews, a fuller understanding of contributing factors can be gained, which leads to more accurate and robust findings, and better system improvements.
