Patient safety incidents are unintentional events, an incident that can allow injuries that could have been avoided. When a patient safety incident occurs in a health facility, especially a hospital, a patient safety incident report must be made as a lesson so that it does not happen again in the future.

So the purpose of this study is to find similarities and differences in reporting patient safety incidents in Indonesia and Malaysia. This type of research is a normative legal research with a comparative legal method approach and normative analysis. Legal sources obtained through secondary data through primary, secondary and tertiary legal sources. For the data validity technique, the data source triangulation technique is used, for data analysis techniques, secondary data is collected from primary sources and secondary sources, then the researcher studies and makes a summary. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that there are similarities and differences regarding reporting of patient safety incidents in hospitals in Indonesia and hospitals in Malaysia.
