Background
- over one million adverse medical events per year (Kohn, Corrigan & Donaldson, 1999)
- 8th leading cause of death in the hospital (IOM, 2000)
- 98,000 deaths from medical errors in U.S. hospitals (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1999).

Background
-equivalent to two plane crashes at a major airport per day (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1999)
-surpasses that of breast cancer, vehicular accident and even AIDS (IOM, 2000)
-five to 10 percent are serious medication errors

Model of safety
FLYING
the safest mode of transportation
![Page 6: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Model of safety
-errors can stem from personal or organizational failures
-learning from errors is vital in maintaining safe practice
![Page 7: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Model of safety
- identify and analyze the errors, correct the source and prevent future errors from happening (Barach & Small, 2000)
* adverse events or near misses
- transparency and confidentiality in reporting (Reason, 2000)
![Page 8: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Punitive tradition
- mark of incompetence, carelessness and negligence (Firth-Cozens, 2001; Reason, 2000).
- shame and blame and individual accountability
- fear and secrecy dominates (Kaplan, 2003; Lawton & Parker, 2002)

The single greatest impediment to
error prevention in the medical industry is
“that we punish people for
making mistakes.”
Dr. Lucian Leape
Professor, Harvard School of Public Health
Testimony before Congress on
Health Care Quality Improvement

Problem
- there is very little or no evidence as to whether the systemic and organizational reaction to errors in patient care and incident reporting in the Philippine setting is similar to that documented in other countries
![Page 11: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Purpose
- identify and describe the culture of incident reporting among Filipino nurses in terms of their willingness, motivations and barriers to incident reporting
![Page 12: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Methods
- Mixed method
- Qualitative
- snowball sampling

Qualitative data analysis:
Moustakas’ method
Bracketing (Journaling of personal feelings and opinions)
Horizontalization (identify significant “horizons” of the experience)
Imaginative variation (investigate all possible alternate meanings and
perspectives)
Cluster of meanings (Clustering of similar meaning units)
Essence (reduction of the meanings of experience to their
essential invariant structure)

5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
1. Policy
the culture of the organization is a major influence in incident reporting practices (Fein, et al., 2005)
![Page 28: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

2. Probity
Incident reporting is concomitant to integrity and honesty
![Page 29: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
2. Probity
“In the ICU, there’s limited number of people working at any time an we keep to ourselves, so if there’s an error, no one would know”.
![Page 30: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

3. Peril
The degree of error determines whether it will be reported or not.
![Page 33: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
3. Peril
“I haven’t given it yet, but the doctor saw doctor that I was holding the wrong med so I was asked to do an incident report.”
![Page 34: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

3. Peril
but if the doctor did not ask you?
“I wouldn’t report it, it was corrected before I could give it to the patient, no harm”.

3. Peril
JACHO emphasizes that data on caught errors are critical in order to provide insight on how the potential error was prevented, but sadly, these errors are exactly the ones that are never identified because they are not viewed as significant
![Page 37: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among

4. Punishment
Punitive response to error. Incident reporting is used to determine who is to blame.
![Page 38: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
4. Punishment
“There’s always an investigation, with a panel even. But it’s always to find who’s at fault”.
![Page 39: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
4. Punishment
“Never that the hospital accepted the error as systemic rather than individual. The one who committed the error is always the one who is liable”.
![Page 40: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
4. Punishment
“you recognize that you are a professional and you are liable but how about factors like staffing or overtime? Then, when an error occurs, I get the blame”.
![Page 41: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
5. Preservation
incident reporting represents a sense of defense or protection as a response to the punitive culture.
![Page 42: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
5. Preservation
“you learn that it is necessary so that the incident will be properly documented, and you will have that as your defense, something to protect you just in case.”
![Page 43: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
5. Preservation
“For example, the doctor commits an error, and it’s not your fault. You write the report to have proof that it wasn’t your fault”.
![Page 44: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
5. Preservation
“That’s your license, if you lose it, you’re done. You lose something you’ve worked hard for, for so many years”.
![Page 45: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
5Ps of incident reporting among
Filipino nurses
5. Preservation
There is a perceived need to defend and protect oneself from blame and accountability by having an accurate documentation of the incident that will “save” the nurse from the consequences of errors such as suspension, or termination.

Conclusions
- punitive culture was very evident (Punishment)
- inconsistencies in the knowledge or information about what errors are reportable (Peril)
- the culture of the organization is a major influence in incident reporting practices (Policy)
![Page 48: THE CULTURE OF INCIDENT REPORTING AMONG FILIPINO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042800/589ad0ce1a28ab3c468ba081/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Conclusions
- incident reporting was synonymous with being honest about the error that was committed (Probity)
- rather than of secrecy and protectionism, fear of blame and liability was a stronger motivation for Filipino nurses to accomplish an incident report (Preservation)
