- Incident reports are a valuable resource for keeping patients safe. They also can help identify system-wide problems such as insufficient staffing or a lack of equipment to help move or reposition patients, which often contributes to staff injuries. So that patients and employees can benefit from incident reports, nurses need to understand their use. They also need to know how to complete and file a report correctly to protect themselves and their organization from the report being used as part of legal action in a lawsuit brought by a patient.
