Capture what matters
Record the activity, date, place, responsible team and what was observed. Distinguish a completed visit from an outcome or an unverified account.
Make issues actionable
An issue needs a short description, an owner, a priority and a next step. Keep unnecessary personal information out of general reports.
Close the loop
Acknowledge the issue, record the decision and tell the field team what changed. Repeated concerns may suggest a planning gap rather than an isolated task.
Review the reporting burden
Use the smallest set of fields that supports the next decision. Limit access and agree retention and deletion responsibilities before collecting personal data.
