ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the participatory process of building a prototype to support the development of an information management system for notification, investigation and monitoring of health incidents. Method: a methodological research study on technology development, carried out in two stages: 1) documentary analysis of primary and secondary sources related to forms and legislation on incident notification systems, from September to October 2018; 2) deliberative dialog in two sessions, with 12 managers and coordinators of the Quality and Patient Safety Center of public hospitals in the Federal District, held in November 2018. In the deliberative session there was a presentation of the prototype and discussion of its applicability and functionality for the development of an information system for risk management in the health services. Results: creation and prototyping of a tool with 4 (four) screens representing the systematic flow of data. Screen 1: Simplified notification for patients and companions. Screen 2: Notification for the health professional. Screen 3: Investigation of the event and action plan. Screen 4: Intervention and monitoring by means of indicators. Conclusion: this is a tool capable of integrating actions to reduce the occurrence of incidents based on the identification and timely intervention on the risk factors. It can be used as a facilitating basis for the development or improvement of new instruments for risk management in the health services.
