Unique Features of this Incident Reporting Procedure
Well-written procedures typically state that you should review and update your risk management documentation when you are investigating complaints–especially when there is a new adverse event to report. However, this procedure includes references to the risk management process and makes recommendations on specifically what to review and update. Specifically, it recommends that the scale used to quantitatively estimate severity of potential harm be aligned to identify which scores require Incident reporting, and which scores do not require reporting.
The section of the procedure that is specific to monitoring and measurement also identifies specific metrics related to the Incident reporting process to track and report to Top Management during Management Review meetings. These metrics include tracking the closure of complaints, preliminary reporting timelines and final reporting timelines. The procedure even includes links to the post-market surveillance procedure to remind you to update your post-market surveillance plan to ask questions related to new or revised risks related to the adverse event you are reporting.
