Required fields for event reporting tool

Hi all,

I hear from our staff that our event reporting form is cumbersome and time-consuming, presumably leading to decreased reporting. I fully agree with them, but have not gained support from our risk management team (who "owns" the reporting tool) to make any changes. Our medication/fluid report has at least 31 total fields, and 17 are required. I've attached screenshots with some things answered to give a feel for what the answers to some of the questions may be.

The point here:
How many fields does your med event form have?

How many of those are required?

If you're feeling generous, what information is required?

Appreciate your insights!
Kara
