Compilation of Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia › Department 410 - RULES OF GEORGIA BOARD OF NURSING › Chapter 410-12 - MANDATORY REPORTING › Rule 410-12-.02 - Reporting of Minor Incidents

Current through Rules and Regulations
			 filed through June 27, 2024
(1) The Georgia Board of Nursing believes
			 that the protection of the public is not enhanced by the reporting of every
			 minor incident that may be a violation of the Georgia Nurse Practice Act or a
			 Board rule. This is particularly true when there are mechanisms in place in the
			 nurse's practice setting to identify nursing errors, detect patterns of
			 practice, and take corrective action to remediate deficits in a nurse's
			 judgment, knowledge, training, or skill. This rule is intended to provide
			 guidance to nurses, nursing peer review committees and others in determining
			 whether a nurse has engaged in conduct that indicates the nurse's continued
			 practice would pose a risk of harm to patients or others and should be reported
			 to the board.
(2) A minor incident
			 is defined by the Board as conduct by a nurse that may be a violation of the
			 Nurse Practice Act or a Board rule but does not indicate the nurse's continued
			 practice poses a risk of harm to a patient or another person.
(3) When evaluating if conduct must be
			 reported to the Board the following factors should be considered:
(a) A nurse involved in a minor incident need
			 not be reported to the Board unless the conduct indicates the nurse:
1.Ignored a substantial risk that exposed a
			 patient or other person to significant physical, emotional or financial harm or
			 the potential for such harm;
2.Lacked a conscientious approach to or
			 accountability for his/her practice;
3.Lacked the knowledge and competencies to
			 make appropriate clinical judgments and such knowledge and competencies cannot
			 be easily remediated; or
4.Has
			 engaged in a pattern of multiple minor incidents that demonstrate the nurse's
			 continued practice would pose a risk of harm to patients or others.
