HIQA Incident Investigation Report

Overview

Draft an incident investigation report for healthcare services aligned with HIQA NSSBH and learning from incidents.

Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the HIQA Incident Investigation Report skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

Example conversation

You: We need an incident investigation report for the fall in Ward 3—root cause, findings, and recommendations.

Agent: I’ll use the NSSBH reference (safe care, learning). I’ll draft a report with: summary; what happened (timeline); root cause or contributing factors; impact; immediate actions taken; recommendations with owners and timescales; lessons learned; and distribution/follow-up. I’ll focus on systems, not blame.
