Select the appropriate unit for the patient’s age. Always choose “years” unless the patient is less than one year of age. If patient was stillborn, please choose 0 hours. When age is less than 30 minutes, round down to 0 hours. When age is 30 minutes or more, round up to 1 hour.
If you are reporting an event that impacted multiple patients, please complete a separate form for each patient with their specific demographic data. Other sections of the form may be copied and pasted. If you have questions about this procedure, please contact OPSC staff.
