Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
Anaesthetic-related incidents are currently recorded and reported (sometimes using an information system) either locally in the hospital or in some cases regionally among a group of hospitals. Interesting incidents might be written up in an industry or academic journal. The Australian and New Zealand Royal College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) is proposing to set up a national reporting database for incidents to broaden the availability of such information. Dr Culwick is leading this project.
Project 1: To determine the national and international status of anaesthetic incident reporting mechanisms. Examining other similar industry incident reporting systems may also be required.
Project 2: Assist in the design / construction / implementation of such a system.
