## Overview

Draft or update an incident reporting procedure for healthcare services aligned with HIQA NSSBH (internal reporting; for notifiable incidents use hiqa-notifiable-incidents-reporting).

## Getting Started

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

## Example conversation

**You:** We need an incident reporting procedure for staff—internal reporting and learning—not the notifiable incidents to HIQA.

**Agent:** I'll use the NSSBH reference (safe care, governance). I'll draft a procedure for internal reporting of incidents, near misses, and hazards: how and when to report; triage and investigation; feedback to reporters; learning and improvement; and a non-punitive culture. I'll clearly distinguish this from notifiable incidents to HIQA and link to open disclosure where harm has occurred.

## Output excerpt

### Incident reporting procedure excerpt

**What to report** — Report any incident that caused or could have caused harm, and any near miss or hazard. Report as soon as practicable. Use [form/system]. No blame: we focus on learning.

**What happens next** — Reports are triaged by [role]. Investigations are carried out for [criteria]. You will receive feedback on the outcome. Lessons are shared [e.g. team briefings, quality reports] and fed into the risk register and quality improvement plan.

## Extension and validation

This skill does not include custom validation tools. Elaboration is guided by the skill workflow and reference materials.
