A Laboratory Critical Incident and Error Reporting System for Experimental Biomedicine

摘要: We here propose the implementation of a simple and effective method to enhance quality basic preclinical academic research: critical incident reporting (CIR). CIR has become standard in clinical medicine but our knowledge never been implemented context research. provide simple, free, open-source software tool for implementing system research groups, laboratories, or large institutions (LabCIRS). LabCIRS was developed, tested, multidisciplinary multiprofessional neuroscience department. It is accepted by all members department, led emergence mature error culture, made laboratory safer more communicative environment. Initial concerns that such measure might lead “surveillance culture” would stifle scientific creativity turned out be unfounded.
