Step 2. Notification
- All incidents must be notified immediately
to your line manager.
- You must also create a Clinical Incident Form
in the incident Information Management System
(IIMS) as soon as practicable and preferably before
the end of the working day. Contact your IIMS manager
if you need assistance or see the list of local
administrators in the IIMS
website (Intranet only).
If you are a manager...
- Email a Reportable Incident Brief
(RIB) for all SAC 1 incidents to the
NSW Department of Health within 24 hours
of the incident.
- Address the email to ESUMAIL@doh.health.nsw.gov.au
under the CE's or nominated delegate's signature.
- If the issue is urgent, provide telephone
advice to the Executive Service Unit at (02)
9391 9621 and to
the Department’s Media and Communication
branch on (02) 9391 9121 that a RIB has been
emailed.
RIBS for SAC 2, 3 and 4 incidents are only sent
to the Department if there is a statewide risk
to patient safety.
