What is AIMS?
The Advanced Incident Management System (AIMS) is a standardised reporting system to enable the recording of clinical incidents consistently across the State. AIMS was implemented in all Western Australian public hospitals and health services in 2001 / 2002 to measure, and ultimately reduce, the prevalence and severity of incidents in health care.
AIMS is a voluntary reporting system that captures actual and near miss events across a broad spectrum of areas. AIMS permits aggregation of large volumes of incident data to show patterns and alert the system to issues that may require further investigation. This inclusive reporting system provides an important foundation in helping WA map the range of incidents occurring. The system was implemented with the understanding that ‘we don’t know what we don’t know’ and prevented ‘blind spots’ in the State’s incident monitoring. The investigation and analysis of a clinical incident reported to AIMS is registered as a quality assurance activity under the Health Insurance Act 1973: Part VC, Health Insurance Act 1992.
