The history and operational results in the six years since the Kidney Stone Center of the Pacific opened in 1986 are summarized and compared to the published literature, with particular attention to Hawaii's unique racial composition.

Incident reports document occurrences that are not consistent with routine hospital procedures or routine patient care; they are one measure of the quality of patient care. Waukesha (Wisconsin) Memorial Hospital has developed an incident reporting system that allows analysis of incidents by type and location of occurrence so trends can be identified. The hospital has also developed an "incident rate," which is useful for analyzing incident occurrences in relation to patient census.
