How to collect injury reports online

Collecting injury reports is a crucial task for most organizations in the Sports & Leisure industry. Pen & paper, google forms or pdf filler might not be the best option anymore.

Activity Messenger allows you to collect injury reports online efficiently and gather accurate data while tracking injuries. All that in much less time.

1- Why fillable pdf's don't work anymore

A major disadvantage of using PDFs is that you often require computer access to use them, which is not always readily available at the site of an injury. 

It can be difficult (or impossible) to fill out & submit PDFs from iPhones or iPads. Then you might have to send the picture and the PDF by email. This can make the process inefficient, prone to error and hard to track.

A mobile responsive form can easily be completed, submitted quickly and you can automate notifications to the right people.

2- What can be included in an online injury report

If you already have an injury report (paper, pdf, google forms), Activity Messenger can recreate all aspects of the form. 

We'll help you take it a step further with automated if/then notifications, image uploads and powerful analytics. 

What you can also add to your injury reporting process with Activity Messenger

  • Questions about the injury (people, reason, equipment etc)
  • Ability to upload images of the injury and/or equipment
  • Send immediate notifications to the right person
  • Automate the completed injury report to be sent to the club manager, person filling the form and the federation
  • Digital signatures from the witness/coach

3-Better communications can lead to better flow of information

One of the most important aspect of collecting injury reports is the flow of information. Unfortunately, using pen and paper or fillable pdf's makes it hard to communicate with everyone involved.

The flow of information can then become a bottleneck in your injury report process. That's where Activity Messenger kicks in.

You'll be able to:

  • Share your injury report in multiples ways (Qr code, url link, website)
  • Make it easy to fill on mobile devices
  • Automatically send PDF version to everyone involved
  • Automate notifications for more serious injuries (concussions or requires an ambulance)
  • Quickly follow up with a 360-view of the incident
