Course Description
In a health care facility, such as a hospital, nursing home, or assisted living, an incident report or accident report is a form that is filled out in order to record details of an unusual event that occurs at the facility, such as an injury to a client. The purpose of the incident report is to document the exact details of the occurrence while they stay fresh in the minds of those who witnessed the event.
