UofL Physicians Launches New Online Safety Reporting Tool

As part of our TeamSTEPPS journey, UofL Physicians is dedicated to providing a just and safe culture for both our patients and our team members. 

This means we are committed to sharing information, learning, promoting an environment of transparency and providing accountability for safe behaviors.

Beginning this month, we are implementing the Safety Learning Report.

The Safety Learning Report is an online reporting tool housed on MyULP. You can find the Safety Learning Report listed under Forms and Resources

"We want to encourage the reporting of safety and quality issues," according to Cindy Lucchese, chief nursing executive. "With this new reporting tool we are further strengthening our mission to deliver patientcentered care with compassion and excellence. It ensures that we address how to keep our patients and co-workers safe, and make improvements to processes."

Who should report a safety event? 

Bridget Rapson, patient transition coordinator, says any team member who was involved in, discovered or responded to the incident is responsible for completing the report. Team members should also notify their supervisor. 

The report is submitted to Compliance and the chief nursing executive, and incidents are reviewed monthly by the Safety Committee.

"This tool and our process encourages reporting of issues in a way that minimizes individual blame or retribution," Cindy said. 

Reporting safety and quality concerns will not result in retaliation.
