CAIREreporting

CAIRE is interested in collecting information on injury accidents, non-injury accidents, near-miss events (where an injury could have occurred). If you’re here because you have concerns about an event that happened, we encourage you to err on the side of caution and submit your report. At the most basic, we’re looking for information on where, when, and how the accident happened, but that only lets us catalogue it. We’re also interested in as much detail that allows us to learn more about the ‘why’ and how the adverse event might have been prevented. If you know of others who can corroborate any parts of your report, we’ll ask you to identify who that is (and how we can reach out to them). Each data point that you provide will add to the score for your event. The more fields you can fill out and the more complete the information you’re able to provide, the higher the score will be for your event report. If you don’t have a particular piece of information, that’s OK… go ahead and leave that field blank. When you’ve completed your report, we’ll show you a ‘report card’ that shows you what we’ve collected from you, and what missing pieces of information remain. You’ll have an opportunity to edit existing answers, or answer questions that you skipped over to increase your CAIRE score / badge. We will store your adverse event report in our database, which will catalogue the particulars of your event. CAIRE will regularly publish aggregated adverse event data, which will include your reported event. With your permission, and if your event report is scored high enough, we may use your report as the basis for a specific case-study. Your report’s data, as a part of the whole database, will be used to help identify trends and patterns in adverse events, if, for example there was a sudden increase in burns from one vendor’s products. Our system will correlate multiple reports of a single incident. All information provided is protected and confidential.
