A clear, consistent incident reporting template for medical emergencies helps organizations learn and improve, rather than each incident being handled ad hoc with no consistent record.
Basic Factual Details First
Date, time, exact location, and who was involved or responded — captured factually and without speculation about cause.
A Simple Response Timeline
When the emergency was noticed, when help was called, when the AED was retrieved and used — a clear timeline helps identify genuine delays worth addressing.
What Worked and What Was Difficult
A brief, blame-free section capturing what responders found straightforward versus challenging provides genuinely useful improvement insight.
Equipment Status Confirmation
Note whether the AED functioned as expected and confirm it has since been professionally serviced, linking to our aftermath checklist guide.
Keep It Short Enough to Actually Get Completed
A lengthy, bureaucratic form risks never being filled out properly — a simple, focused template is more likely to be genuinely used.
