    “1. During the course of the Inquest it was clear that overall the record keeping in respect of Mildred was poor. There was insufficient information taken about Mildred by the home before her admission to Pelham House, the information that was taken was at times inaccurate and this lead to an inadequate fall risk assessment being insufficient. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of monthly medication audits to detect recording discrepancies

    Wider context from the report

    “2. Whilst the drugs chart showed that Mildred was taking her medication regularly the amount of medication that was found after her death showed that this could not be the case. We were told that monthly drugs audits were apparently carried out but they did not pick up the discrepancies in the recording on the drugs charts and the amount of medication held. ”
