The three types of serious incident reports typically include "adverse events," which involve unintended harm to patients; "near misses," where an incident could have caused harm but did not; and " sentinel events," which result in death or serious physical or psychological injury. Each type serves to identify and analyze incidents to improve safety and prevent future occurrences. Organizations often use these reports to enhance patient care and refine safety protocols.
