Quick Answer

A caregiver incident report documents any unexpected event that could affect patient safety — falls, medication errors, injuries, or behavioral incidents.

Proper Incident Documentation

Every incident report must answer: What happened, When, Where, Who was involved, What was done, and What's next. Use objective language and document facts, not assumptions.
