Addu Equatorial Hospital Launches Digital Safety Incident Reporting System

Addu Equatorial Hospital (AEH) has launched a new digital system to facilitate the reporting of safety-related issues within the facility. Developed by the hospital's ICT Department, the 'Safety Incident Reporting and Learning System' is designed to encourage anonymous reporting of incidents concerning the safety and security of patients and staff, as well as near-miss incidents and unsafe conditions. The hospital stated that the system allows reports to be made anonymously to eliminate fear of retaliation and to encourage staff to voice concerns freely. AEH emphasized that the system enables the review of past incidents, monitoring of corrective measures, and identification of recurring risks, describing it as a significant step in its ongoing digitalization efforts towards providing safe treatment and a secure working environment.
