What this concern includes
Includes failures to record, maintain or make significant medical events accessible to relevant non-clinical staff outside the primary clinical record, where those staff need the information for safety assessment, supervision or protective action; include the anchor's school-to-non-school information process and comparable clinical-to-discipline-staff recording arrangements in custody.
What is not included
- Excludes ordinary clinical record-keeping failures where the material problem is not making significant medical events available to relevant non-clinical staff.
- Excludes generic inter-agency information-sharing failures without a specific significant-medical-event and non-clinical-recipient connection.
- Excludes failures involving routine clinical handover between healthcare professionals or services.
- Excludes prison-specific risk-information transfer where the concern is broader or different from recording significant medical events for access by non-clinical staff.
