Implementation of an On-line Incident Learning System in a Radiation Medicine Program

Incident learning is an important aspect of quality improvement in health care. This work describes the implementation and customization of the on-line Safety Incident Learning System (SaILS) at our centre. SaILS was developed at the Ottawa Hospital and further refined at the McGill University Health Centre. Prior to implementation of SaILS at our centre, incidents were reported using a soft copy form that was circulated via email to the incident investigation team. Investigation findings were entered into the same soft copy form and summaries transcribed manually to a spreadsheet for further analysis.
