    Report summary

    Susanna Geraty, a previously fit and well 75-year-old woman, died after developing acute renal failure and hyperkalaemic cardiac arrest five days after surgery for a fractured tibia and fibula.

    Poor recording of falls-risk management

    Wider context from the report

    “• Upon her admission to hospital, her management plan was not completed and she was wrongly identified as not being a falls risk. • There was no further review of Mrs Thompson and it was not until 11/1/14 when a full falls risk assessment was made and preventable measures put into place. • Poor note taking of 2/1/14 to account for this. • This left a gap of some 10 days during which she was not properly risk assessed for falls. ”
