Abstract

Regardless of reporting events to general incident learning systems, a local incident learning system is required. With these local systems, events can be analysed and specific actions adapted to the specific workflows and technologies available in each Service can be designed. The design of these local systems requires a significant effort and must be carried out in such a way that it is easy to report and that all the necessary information is recorded for subsequent analysis. In this work, the design of a local incident learning system based in a web form, with the SAFRON structure is presented, showing the advantages compared to other possible options.
