The location of a completed incident report in the medical record is not relevant information to include in the incident report itself. It may be important for internal record keeping purposes, but it does not provide any useful information for addressing and correcting the medication error that occurred. The other information listed (client name, date and time of incident, medication involved) are all important details that should be included in the incident report.
