What is CIMS?
The Clinical Incident Management System is a reporting system developed to ensure the appropriate management of clinical incidents to prevent or reduce future harm to patients/consumers by:
- identifying and treating hazards before they cause harm
- identifying when patients/consumers are harmed and intervening promptly to minimise the harm
- taking preventative actions and sharing lessons learned.
It is a WA Health requirement to notify all clinical incidents. As such all clinical incidents within public hospitals/health services are to be notified via the Clinical Incident Management System (AIMS or equivalent database).
