In addition, address the following:
⢠Identify the sentinel event, who was involved, what occurred, and where it occurred.
⢠Describe the applicable accrediting agencyâs requirements for reporting the event (e.g., OSHA, ACHA, CMS, CDC, CLIA, The Joint Commission [TJC], AHCA, state agencies).
⢠Discuss the probable cause that may have contributed to the sentinel event (e.g., process failure, human error, policy error, systems error, technology failure, etc.).
⢠Create a recommendation that will reduce the risk of future events from occurring.
