Why are we moving to a new system?
The new online QRM system will replace paper-based incident and hazard reporting, making the process:
- Fully paperless
- Easier to use
- More efficient to track and manage
Transition Timeline:
August 27, 2025:
QRM system goes live in Surge Learning.
October 15, 2025:
Final day paper incident and hazard forms will be accepted. After this date, ALL reporting must be completed through QRM
When to Use QRM on Surge Learning:
- Incident Report
- LTC: All incidents involving staff, students, visitors, or contractors must be documented in QRM. (For Resident Incidents→ report to nurse → nurses will document in PCC Risk Management. [See memo: https://mennoplacestaff.com/memo-pcc-risk-management/].
- AL and IL: Independent Living and Assisted Living do not have PointClickCare, therefor all incidents involving staff, students, visitors, or contractors — including Resident/Tenant Incidents — must be reported in QRM.
- Near Miss Report
- LTC: For staff, students, visitors, and contractors. (Resident near misses → report to nurse→ nurses will documents in PCC Risk Management. [See memo: https://mennoplacestaff.com/memo-pcc-risk-management/] ).
- AL and IL: Independent Living and Assisted Living do not have PointClickCare, therefor all near misses involving staff, students, visitors, and contractors — including Resident/Tenant Incidents — must be reported in QRM.
- Workplace Hazard Report: Report hazards such as clutter, tripping risks, pets, etc.
- Employee Incident Investigations Report : Fill this report if you as a staff member are exposed to harm.
- LTC: If resident is also involved in this incident, notify the nurse → nurse completes Resident Incident Form in PCC Risk Management. [Click here for the memo that outlines the PCC process: https://mennoplacestaff.com/memo-pcc-risk-management/)
- AL/IL : If resident is also involved in this incident, complete a separate incident report on QRM
Note for LTC:
Resident-related behaviours/incidents will now be documented by nurses in PointClickCare (PCC) Risk Management, not in QRM. Staff witnessing resident-related incidents do not need to complete an incident report, rather just write a witness statement to give to the nurse.
Note for Al/IL:
Independent Living and Assisted Living do not have PointClickCare, therefor all near misses — including Resident/Tenant Incidents — must be reported in QRM.
