A major drawback of submission of so-called incident reports for medical institutions is that such reports may be able to be obtained on request by patients and to be used as evidence in malpractice lawsuits. In Japan, there are no established rules concerning the use of accident reports in medical lawsuits. More debate is needed for voluntary report systems to become established in medical institutions throughout Japan.
医疗机构提交所谓的事故报告的一个主要缺点是，此类报告可能会应患者要求而被获取，并被用作医疗事故诉讼的证据。在日本，关于医疗诉讼中事故报告的使用没有既定规则。要在日本全国的医疗机构中建立起自愿报告系统，还需要更多的讨论。
