What is the primary goal of conducting trend analysis on incidents in a healthcare facility?

Evaluate case mix index
Identify occurrence types and severity levels
Review practitioner profiles
Assess data accuracy and reporting timeliness

The correct answer is: Evaluate case mix index

The primary goal of conducting trend analysis on incidents in a healthcare facility is to evaluate the case mix index. Case mix index helps in understanding the types and complexities of cases being treated in the facility. This analysis aids in resource allocation, staffing decisions, quality improvement initiatives, and overall operational efficiency. While identifying occurrence types and severity levels, reviewing practitioner profiles, and assessing data accuracy and reporting timeliness are important aspects of incident management in healthcare, none of these are the primary goal of conducting trend analysis on incidents.
