Eskalation

English translation: escalation (of incidents)

German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care
German term or phrase: Eskalation
Pharmaceutical SOP:

"Berichterstattung bzw. Eskalation bei Vorfällen oder Verstößen im Zusammenhang mit GxP oder Datenintegrität
-die Eskalation an das Management bei allen Vorkommnissen, die potentiell die Unabhängigkeit der Qualitätsorganisation, die Qualität eines Produktes, die Patientensicherheit oder Datenintegrität gefährden, entsprechend ORG010019"

Is 'escalation" used in this context, or is it more advisable to use "chain of command" or similar?

Thanks!
