British Chiropractic Association members' attitudes towards the Chiropractic Reporting and Learning System: A qualitative study

The CRLS was considered to be of benefit to the profession. However, until there is greater clarity of the purpose and role of the CRLS, the system will probably remain under-utilised. Strategies should be implemented to improve the reporting of PSIs to the CRLS, including extensive education of the profession. In particular, chiropractors need to understand that without personal initiative on a local as well as national level, improving patient safety by learning from reporting may be difficult to achieve.
