This study describes the impact of an upgraded patient safety reporting system that includes an option for positive reporting (e.g., teamwork, positive behavior) at a single academic medical center. The upgraded system resulted in a significant increase in the quantity and length of event reporting. The authors suggest that allowing for positive behavior reporting contributes to a culture of safety, which may have led to an increase in event reporting overall.
