What are some things required by law to be reported in a healthcare facility?

In healthcare facilities, certain incidents and information are required by law to be reported, including cases of suspected child abuse or neglect, elder abuse, and domestic violence. Additionally, healthcare providers must report Infectious Diseases to public health authorities to prevent outbreaks. Adverse events, such as medical errors or serious injuries occurring during patient care, may also need to be documented and reported. Compliance with these reporting requirements is essential for patient safety and public health.
