    Report summary

    Charles Ray Woodward underwent surgery to remove a sigmoid colon tumour and was discharged home after an apparently uneventful recovery. His health then declined, and he died from peritonitis caused by a leaking anastomosis following surgery. The principal concerns were inadequate communication and liaison between the hospital, community care providers and the family, together with insufficiently robust monitoring of his condition after discharge.

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Recipient name withheld; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Miscommunication between hospital and patients’ families about worrying declines in health

    Wider context from the report

    “There was inadequate communication and liaison between the hospital on the one hand and on the other hand the deceased’s GP practice and district nurses in the community who, following the deceased’s discharge from hospital, would be responsible for the deceased’s ongoing care. Further, monitoring of the deceased’s condition from Leighton Hospital was insufficiently robust and relied upon oral contact rather than ensuring the physical presence of a medical attendant, be that attendant hospital or community based. The evidence suggested that there was miscommunication between the hospital and the deceased’s family with the result that the deceased’s worrying decline in health was not appreciated by the hospital. ”
