About This Automation

Falls and safety incidents in aged care require rapid documentation, family notification, and compliance tracking. Manual follow-up spreads across email, spreadsheets, and phone calls, causing delays in family contact and missed regulatory obligations.

Automation captures incident details in a structured form, notifies families instantly, and flags compliance requirements automatically. Follow-up actions are assigned and tracked to completion, eliminating forgotten tasks and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Key features:
Capture incident details in a structured form with required fields and validation
Automatically notify family members with incident summary and next steps
Flag regulatory reporting and compliance requirements based on incident type and severity
Assign and track follow-up action items with deadlines and ownership
Generate incident summary reports for management review and audit trails
Escalate high-risk incidents for immediate manager attention

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Incident Reportedtrigger

A staff member submits an incident via a structured form ( or Google Forms). The form captures resident name, incident type, time, location, witnesses, and initial observations in one submission.

2. Create Incident Record

The automation creates a new incident record with all submitted data, assigns a unique incident ID, and timestamps the entry.

3. Request Witness Statements

The automation sends a message or email to identified witnesses with a link to a short witness statement form. Responses are automatically logged to the incident record.

4. Assess Compliance & Severity

The automation reviews the incident type, resident age, injury severity, and witness accounts to determine if regulatory reporting, incident review, or staff retraining is required. the automation flags compliance actions and assigns them to the appropriate team member.

5. Notify Family via Email

The automation sends a templated, personalised email to the resident's family with incident details, immediate actions taken, and next steps. The email is logged in the incident record.

6. Create Follow-Up Tasks

The automation creates reminders or calendar tasks for follow-up actions (e.g. incident review meeting, equipment repair) and assigns them to the responsible staff member with a due date.

7. Send Incident Summary to Manager

The automation sends a notification to the operations manager with a summary of the incident, compliance flags, and follow-up actions. The manager can review and approve the record.
