Abstract
In NSW, healthcare providers are required to manage the notification of incidents by being open about failures and while there is an upward trend of reporting by nurses, the Clinical Excellence Commission have indicated incident reports are fragmented and incomplete. [...]known failure mechanisms may go undetected and the gravity of not knowing how and why incidents occur has led to harmful outcomes for patients (CEC 2019). Increased awareness related to how undergraduate students can be taught to define, identify and understand the processes involved in navigating reporting systems in order to maintain quality and safety for consumers within healthcare organisations.
