“Mr B slipped getting out of bed in bay 4 just after two. He wasn't hurt, but the floor had just been mopped and there was no sign up.”
Everything the form asks for. In your own words.
Syniemi (sin-ee-ya-me), from ancient Greek: to understand.
The problem
- 01Long forms take staff away from patients.
- 02Reports are often incomplete.
- 03Learning from incidents slows down.
What we're building
We're building a way for NHS staff to report patient safety incidents by voice, chat or a simple form, in whichever way suits the person reporting. It is designed to make reporting quicker and kinder, so more is reported, more clearly, and learning can start sooner.
Syniemi is in development. We're shaping it with NHS staff and governance teams.
