- Not yet occurred (NC0);- Light injury (NC1 - injury is self-healing or does not require treatment intervention);- Moderate injury (NC2 - injury requiring treatment intervention, prolonging hospital stay, affecting long-term function).

Mandatory reporting is applied for situations where the degree of injury to the patient's health and life is severe (NC3 - injury requiring emergency intervention or major treatment intervention, causing permanent loss of function or resulting in death).
