Not all incidences occurring at the hospitals are liable for law suit but when a legal litigation do occur information recorded in the incident report will have an huge impact. Though the health care people are likely to provide factual details on the patients’ health records and related aspects in the case notes. Incident report do enhance quality service and act as an evidence to bring up trustworthy information thereby avoiding medical negligence and malpractice. The point to note is incident report would not contain the opinion of the person documenting but will certainly indicate the actual account of the witness as it is, as what was seen?
