SIRS is not decided in the clear cases

Most teams know the reportable incident types. The pressure sits somewhere else. It sits in the resident to resident push, the expected death that was not, and the refusal of care that reads as dignity of risk on Monday and looks like neglect by Friday.

This masterclass takes managers and clinical leads past the definitions and into those judgment calls, then shows you how to put a written rationale behind every call you make.

You leave with the SIRS Decision Trail Record, a worked root cause analysis, and four case scenarios you can run again with your own team.

The calls that are actually hard
Every reportable incident type, taken straight to the borderline: consent and cognitive impairment, cumulative minor incidents, restraint versus treatment.
Chart icon
Priority 1 versus Priority 2, in practice
The current Priority 1 test, the triage workflow, when the notification clocks start, and who owns the decision out of hours.
Group of people icon
A decision trail that holds up
Reasoning written against the statutory definition, with the same rigour applied to the decisions not to report.

The decision is yours to make. Make it defensible.
