An Incident is considered to be an item, that is a disturbance of the business continuity/services in the broadest sense of the word. This could be a malfunctioning of a system, an outage, a blocked access, a non-availability of any kind of system (infra, app, telco).

The Incident Management Process is an end-to-end process, handling:

  • receiving
  • capturing
  • classifying
  • resolving
  • closing

of incidents.

The Incident Management Process relates to the following other processes managed by heathdata.be:

  • Request Management Process
  • Change Management Process
  • Problem Management Process
  • Configuration Management Process
  • SLO/SLA Management Process

As for the relation with Request Management Process:

  • Requests that are entered in the system, but are in fact Incidents, are transferred from Request to Incident.
