Welcome to the
Emory Incident Reporting System (EIRS)

CLICK HERE TO BY-PASS OVERVIEW AND GO DIRECTLY TO THE REPORTING SYSTEM.

OVERVIEW

EIRS is a web-based computerized system that replaces paper Incident forms.  You should use EIRS to report the following:

• incidents & omissions                           
• medical variances
• complaints
• near-misses (issues that are caught before impacting patient care but, if they were to reoccur, could cause harm)
• general concerns that do not involve a specific patient but could cause harm to a patient, and
• concerns about staff or physician behavior which could impede patient care, safety, and service, including verbal abuse (unwarranted yelling, swearing or cursing; threatening, humiliating, or sexually explicit language) and physical abuse or violence, including sexual harassment

EIRS is NOT for reporting workers’ compensation matters or staffing issues that do not impact patient care.

EIRS does NOT change the way you care for your patients.  You should continue caring for your patients in accordance with Emory Healthcare policies and procedures.

Because EIRS is easier and faster, we hope to increase the number of reported incidents.  When in doubt, report!
