New Adverse Events are added and are accessible from the Incident issue - either on the Incident's Add or Edit screen. An Adverse Event is always be associated with an Incident, but any single Incident may have multiple Adverse Events. Note that this can be changed through configuration.
Simply click on the button Add a New Adverse Event within the Incident screen to add a new adverse event. Information such as the Patient Name, Gender, Age, and Title are automatically carried over from the Incident issue, and appear on the Adverse Event screen. These fields are not able to be altered to give them the same values as their parent Incident. As a minimum, complete any required information and adverse event details such as the Seriousness, Description, Tests, and Outcome and then submit the form.

Simply click Get Filtered Results and your results will display.
