What this concern includes
Includes failures of national or cross-authority arrangements for rapidly collating, updating and sharing safety-critical incident information, including information arising during clinical triage where it is needed by other responsible services or authorities.
Not included
- Excludes failures limited to creating, documenting or updating an individual clinical record when no national or cross-authority incident-information-sharing deficiency is identified.
- Excludes generic communication, training, staffing or information-technology deficiencies unless they directly impair the national or cross-authority sharing of safety-critical incident information.
- Excludes routine information sharing about non-safety matters and failures occurring after relevant incident information has been reliably shared.
- Excludes separately named information systems or pathways, such as ambulance, prison, mental-health or police systems, when that narrower system is the supported concern.
