  • Patent number: 9135598
    Abstract: An anonymous reporting system (10) is provided for use in reporting and following up on incidents, accidents and the like. The system (10) is initiated by a system provider (12) on behalf of an institutional participant/client (14) for access by any number of individual users (16). The most common implementation is a web based interface (24) including a web site (27). The interface (24) includes an anonymizer (38) for safeguarding the identity of each individual user (16). The system (10) permits the user (16) to enter a report (28) and then assigns a random number identifier (74) associated with the report (28). The report (28) is forwarded to selected recipients (22) and to one or more administrators (32) associated with the participant/client (14). The administrators (32) may request follow up comments or send messages (64) associated with the report (28) by the access number (74) so that the user (16) may continue dialog, all while remaining totally anonymous.
