When we mistook a minor thing in the hospital, we had to hand a report called "incident report" to the hospital.
For example, it was that we input a wrong blood test data into the computer.
However, when a doctor noticed it before a patient doesn't have damage, this report isn't needed.
On the other hand, it was called "the accident" if this is noticed after a doctor told a patient.
This is because the treatment is started based on data.
I used two words in this way.
What do do think?

「incidentと accident」の間に違いがありますか。
病院で些細なまちがいをしたとき、「インシデント報告書」とよばれる報告書を病院に提出しなければなりませんでした。
例えば、間違った血液検査データをコンピューターに入力したときです。
しかし、患者が被害を受ける前に医師がこれに気づいたときは、このレポートは不要です。
一方、もし医師が患者に伝えた後でこれに気づけばそれは「アクシデント」とよばれました。
それはそのデータに基づいて治療が開始されるからです。
私はこのようにこの言葉を使いました。
いかがでしょうか。

いかがでしょうか。
1. A definite and separate occurrence of an event.
like there was an incident at the movies two men got into a fight.
2. A usually minor event or condition.
like she had an incident at the park she cut her knee.
3.An event that interrupts normal procedure.
like i was going to the train and they closed it down becuse
of an incident.
I used each words due to a different meaning.
incident meant - it's a minor miss , but it didn't happen with accident.
Can you understand my poor explanation?
1.An unexpected and undesirable event,especially one resulting in damage or harm.
like i got into a car accident and got hurt.
2. Lack of intention/didn't mean to do it.
like when someone spills a drink.
When we make a minor mistake in the hospital, we have to hand in a report called an "incident report" to the hospital.
You are stating a general rule; use the present tense ("have") for this in English, not the past tense ("had").
For example, we sometimes enter incorrect blood test information into the computer.
"Data" is a plural noun. It cannot be preceded by "a". The corresponding singular noun is "datum", but it is very rarely used nowadays.
However, if/when a doctor notices it before it causes any problem for a patient, this report isn't needed.
On the other hand, it is called "an accident" if the error is noticed after a doctor told a patient incorrect information.
Entering the wrong data is a mistake whether or not it is caught in time. The word "incident" is not a good description of a mistake; almost any event can be described as an incident.
Incorrect treatment being started as a result of a mistake is another mistake, and one which can be very serious. While it is true that this is an "accident", since it was unintended, calling it an accident is not a good description. The initial mistake was also an "accident" in this sense, whether or not it resulted in incorrect treatment. "Accident" just means an action performed in error or unintentionally.
Organizations invent their own specific meanings for words, and it is certainly possible for your hospital to give these two words these meanings. This will make what you are talking about very unclear to anyone who doesn't know the specific jargon of the hospital, however.
>Incorrect treatment being started as a result of a mistake is another mistake.
However, if we didn't input wrong data to the computer, the doctor won't take a incorrect treatment. So the hospital has a rule. In this case the technicians have to take a responsibility.
I would not use either of the words "incident" or "accident", and I would certainly not use one in the situation where an error in treatment was caused, and the other in the situation where an error in treatment was not caused.
Could you elaborate on above, especially *one?
I am saying that these choices of words certainly would not convey that difference in meaning to most English speakers. Using one in one situation and the other in the other situation would not suggest the two different situations you're talking about.
I'm confused about the entire situation here. Why are you talking about using English words in a hospital where I assume that Japanese is spoken? Are you working in a hospital where English is spoken?
I think because many medical words derive from 欧米.
If you're asking whether those meanings that you are assigning to the words are shared by most people who speak English, the answer so far has been no in every case you've asked about.
Is there a difference between "incident" and "accident"?
"different" is an adjective; "difference" is the corresponding noun
You are talking about the difference between two words; each word needs to be put in separate quotation marks.
The phrase is "between X and Y", not "between X or Y".
If you capitalize as many words as you did in this title, you also need to capitalize "Incident" and "Accident".
Words such as "a", "between" and "and" are not usually capitalized, even in a title.
A title is usually not a complete sentence.
Doesn't the title need a capital letter?
One, which most nihonjin at this site prefer, is just to capitalize the first word of the title.
The other is to capitalize all words except for "small words". The problem with this style for Japanese speakers is that there is no very clear definition of what constitutes a "small word"; in fact, English speakers do not always agree on this. Words with purely grammatical functions, such as articles (a, an, the) and prepositions (of, in, on, at, etc.) are definitely "small words". The words "this" and "that" are not so clear. Here are a couple of ways your title could be capitalized:

Is There a Difference Between "Incident" and "Accident"?
Very few people will capitalize the words "a" and "and" in a title.
Thanks for everytime.
