What this concern includes
Includes failures of explicitly multidisciplinary clinical meetings, ward rounds, CPA meetings or comparable clinical case meetings involving inadequate preparation, relevant-record review, appropriate attendance, patient participation, risk discussion, decision-making, meeting effectiveness or recording where these impair safe care decisions.
Not included
- Excludes non-clinical, governance, learning or administrative meetings unless the assertion directly concerns a multidisciplinary clinical meeting about a patient's care.
- Excludes generic communication, staffing, training or documentation deficiencies that are not directly tied to the operation of a multidisciplinary clinical meeting.
- Excludes failures of a separately named clinical pathway or safety system where meeting operation is only an incidental component and the wider named concern provides the appropriate boundary.
- Excludes inappropriate treatment, discharge or referral decisions where no deficiency in the multidisciplinary clinical meeting is identified.
