Incident Report Analysis

Identify patterns in your incident reports

Large repositories of incident reports were created in many applications fields. Examples would include:

• Police officers reports
• Traffic accident reports
• Aviation incident reports
• Patient safety reports
• Nurse care reports
• Drug safety reports

It is important to investigate historical incident reports and learn common patterns and trends in order to reliably predict and proactively influence possible outcomes of future situations. Yet frequently, the large volume of recorded incident reports makes it impossible to the forest for the trees. It is especially hard for a human analyst to discover unexpected patterns in scores of textual reports.

Megaputer's incident report analysis solution enables you to:

• Monitor reports for known issues of importance
• Discover unexpected patterns and trends
• Predict future outcomes and threats
• Trace subjects or patterns across all data
• Identify reports similar to the considered report
