Brief summary: Patient safety is a priority in Europe. The World Health Organization's World Alliance for Patient Safety has included incident reporting systems as indispensable tools for patient safety. These systems are widespread in healthcare facilities throughout Europe. While in some countries trainees in healthcare disciplines are able to report incidents, in others they are unable to do so. In many cases, they do not have adequate information about the reporting systems, there is low motivation to report, or there is a fear that reporting may lead to problems in their studies.

Until now, there have been no interventions designed and validated to achieve the objective of promoting incident reporting among students of health disciplines. Nor there were tools for these students to participate in the analysis of the causes of these incidents and in the identification of barriers to prevent their recurrence.

Researchers currently have tools from the digital world (artificial intelligence and gamification) whose application in this area can be useful for improving patient safety.

In this context, the investigators have developed an incident notification system aimed at students and trainees in order to familiarize this group with the notification process and thus contribute to improving patient safety. Students will be encouraged to participate with the incentive of earning Miguel Hernández University nanocourse credits or direct prizes. Once the notification is made, their role will be to evaluate and give feedback to notifications made by other peers, so they will get points. After finishing, those students with the most points will be rewarded with the prizes mentioned above.
