Reporting Programs

A key element of the Commission’s work in Oregon is its adverse event reporting program. To make health care safer, we must commit to transparency to reduce preventable injury and harm. By reporting, we learn from the opportunities we have to identify and correct underlying system failures. It is the very cornerstone of creating a culture of safety in our health care system. With your participation and reporting of adverse events, together we can build a robust repository of information to provide useful feedback and inform your improvement efforts. Oregon is unique with a voluntary reporting system and it can be preserved by your full participation.

The Commission is committed to providing you with support and evidence-based resources so you can provide the safest, most reliable, high-quality care for patients and residents in Oregon. In 2011, we are making significant enhancements in the reporting program to better serve you. In addition to continuous tracking and monitoring of reporting, we are redesigning our feedback reports and making improvements to optimize your experience. 

Please consider the Commission as your partner in patient safety and thank you for your commitment to safe care. For any questions about your adverse event report, please contact your patient safety consultant to ensure prompt attention to your concern.
