Objective:
To reflect on the main characteristics and recommendations of Incident Reporting Systems, discuss the population’s participation in reporting, and point out challenges in the Brazilian system.
Method:
Reflection study, based on Ordinance No. 529/13, which instituted the National Patient Safety Program, under Collegiate Board Resolution (CBR) No. 36/13; reflections by experts were added.
Results:
Reporting systems are a source for learning and monitoring, allow early detection of incidents, investigations and, mainly, the generation of recommendations prior to recurrences, in addition to raising information for patients and relatives. There is little participation of the population in the reporting, regardless of the type of system and characteristics such as confidentiality, anonymity, and mandatory nature.
Final Considerations:
In Brazil, although reporting is mandatory, there is an urgency to advance the involvement and participation of the population, professionals, and institutions. To simplify data entry by improving the interface and importing data from the reporting system is an objective to be achieved.

Objective:
To understand the professionals’ perception of risks and factors related to patient safety incidents in psychosocial care.
Methods:
Descriptive-exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, carried out with 31 professionals in type III Psychosocial Health Care Centers, between October 2016 and April 2017. Data collection was mediated by the Experiential Learning Cycle. Content analysis was performed.
Results:
The professionals revealed risks and factors related to safety incidents in their daily practices, associated with the institution’s physical and organizational structure, with the configuration of the clinical process, with clinical administration and organizational management.
Final considerations:
Continuous efforts are needed on the part of senior managers and professionals to improve the work process and organizational structure in psychosocial care, contributing to the development of the patient’s autonomy and social rehabilitation, avoiding institutionalization and, especially, ensuring the safety of this type of care.
