Accurate CDI and coding drives data-based decisions that improve care. By reporting adverse events and near misses, physicians enable analysis of root causes and system gaps. This leads to corrections that enhance safety through changes like refined protocols, additional training, or redesigned workflows. Physicians should recognize their duty to patient care includes reporting. It's not punitive but rather an avenue to gather evidence, reveal areas for improvement, and implement changes with measurement-based accountability. Higher quality data on adverse events fuels continuous improvement initiatives to reduce recurrence and save lives. So whether it seems like more paperwork or not, reporting helps prevent future errors and arm administration to advocate for investments in patient safety.
