BACKGROUND There is long-term interest in the effects of stress on health, due to the strain that it places on individuals which can lead to an increased risk of disease. The present study examined degree of perceived job stress related to incidents reporting rate and its dimensions among workers' Isfahan Steel Company. METHODS A self-administered anonymous was distributed to 189 workers. The...

Research Summary In this article, we describe the nation’s move to a crime-reporting system that is exclusively incident based. Such a change presents challenges for the “crime-reporting pipeline” and for researchers in managing and analyzing these more intricate data. We highlight the shortcomings of the dominant system, the Uniform Crime Reporting Program’s Summary Reporting System (SRS), and...

OBJECTIVE An electronic Incident Information Management System implemented system-wide by the Department of Health, New South Wales, Australia was evaluated. We hypothesized that health professionals (i) would support the system via utilization and favourable attitudes and (ii) that their usage and attitudes would vary according to profession with nurses being most, and doctors least, favourabl...

and the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) are the two major sources of crime data in the United States. The UCR is a summary reporting system while NIBRS is an incident-based reporting system which was established to modernize crime reporting. The data collected by NIBRS is much more detailed. Given that law enforcement agencies across the nation voluntarily submit data to the Fe...

This papers describes novel research involving the development of Textual CBR techniques and applying them to the problem of Incident Report Retrieval. Incident Report Retrieval is a relatively new research area in the domain of Accident Reporting and Analysis. We describe T-Ret, an Incident Report Retrieval system that incorporates textual CBR techniques and outline preliminary evaluation resu...

BACKGROUND Although electronic health records (EHRs) have the potential to provide a foundation for quality and safety algorithms, few studies have measured their impact on automated adverse event (AE) and medical error (ME) detection within the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment. OBJECTIVE This paper presents two phenotyping AE and ME detection algorithms (ie, IV infiltrations, ...

OBJECTIVES To minimise adverse events in healthcare, various large-scale incident reporting and learning systems have been developed worldwide. Nevertheless, learning from patient safety incidents is going slowly. Local, unit-based reporting systems can help to get faster and more detailed insight into unit-specific safety issues. The aim of our study was to gain insight into types and causes o...

OBJECTIVE We describe the process of setting up a database of major incident reports and its potential future application. METHOD A template for reporting on major incidents was developed using a consensus-based process involving a team of experts in the field. A website was set up as a platform from which to launch the template and as a database of submitted reports. This paper describes the...

Background: Fatalism, an obstacle to the adoption of safe behaviors, describes the belief that injuries are unavoidable and occur due to haphazard or fate. The present study examined degree of fatalism related to injuries reporting rate and its dimensions among workers’ Isfahan Steel Company. Methods: A self-administered anonymous was distributed to 250 workers. The survey included demogr...

conclusions safety motivation and work pressure are important predictors of occupational accident rate. therefore, increasing safety motivation and reducing work pressure in high-risk jobs are effective ways in which organizations can decrease occupational accident rates. results both safety motivation and work pressure were significantly correlated with occupational accident rate (p < 0.0001)....
