General Event Reports

The Incident Report (IR) and Medication Error Report (MER) applications have been combined in the General Event Reports (GER) application to ensure wider features and flexibility. Users can record multiple related events such as injury, medication error, death, and restraint among others. Common information on all event types needs to be entered only once.

To allow more flexibility and access control there are separate Submit, Approve, Review, and View Roles for each event type. Users with the appropriate Roles can create, approve, review, view, and delete these reports.

GER Med Error Approve	Approve GERs that have Med Errors reported
GER Witness	When assigned, the user can be selected as a ‘Witness’ for an event
GER Death Approve	GERs that have Death events reported
GER Delete	Delete GERs
GER Followup	Add follow‐ups or attach files to an approved GER
GER Submit	Save or Submit GERs, make changes to Returned GERs (Delete saved or returned GERs that were created by the user himself)
GER Approve	Approve or Return submitted GERs (Cannot approve GERs with Med Errors or Death events)
GER View	View approved GERs
GER Review	Add review comments or attach file to a GER that is in Pending Approval/In‐Prep/Returned status
