PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to maintain a clear, effective and documented communication system for wound management care plans
Wider context from the report
“The inquest heard evidence that when he was discharged to the care home from the acute hospital that the care home felt that they did not understand what was required regarding wound care because the care plan regarding wound care was not clear .The Trust did not have a copy of what information had been provided. As a consequence of this, there was a lack of clarity regarding wound management. The Trust did not, the inquest was told have a clear procedure that ensured that there was a clear, effective and documented communication system in relation to care plans that included wound management. The home did not have a clear escalation policy for actions to be taken when a resident arrived, and their staff were unclear how they were being asked to manage a wound by the hospital. In addition, the documentation surrounding concerns and attempts to escalate was limited. ”
