## Overview

Draft or update the process for reporting notifiable incidents to HIQA/Chief Inspector under the Patient Safety Act 2023.

## Getting Started

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

## Example conversation

**You:** We need a procedure and template for notifying HIQA of notifiable incidents under the Patient Safety Act 2023.

**Agent:** I'll use the NSSBH reference and the Patient Safety Act. I'll draft a procedure covering: definition of notifiable incidents; who decides and who reports; timeframe for notification; content of notification; recipient (HIQA or Chief Inspector); internal recording; and links to open disclosure and incident investigation. I'll add a notification template with the required content.

## Output excerpt

### Notifiable incidents procedure excerpt

**When to notify** — Where a notifiable incident (as defined in the Patient Safety (Notifiable Incidents and Open Disclosure) Act 2023) occurs, the service notifies [HIQA / Chief Inspector] within [timeframe per Act]. The [role] is responsible for deciding that an incident is notifiable and for submitting the notification.

**Notification content** — The notification includes: [e.g. date and place; description; impact; immediate actions; open disclosure]. A log of all notifications is kept. The procedure links to open disclosure and internal investigation.

## Extension and validation

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