    AI-generated summary

    Helen Margaret McLean · Prevention of Future Deaths report

    This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

    Report summary

    Helen Margaret McLean was without Edoxaban from 5 November 2020 after medication and discharge information were not correctly transferred between hospital, GP practices and her nursing home. She was admitted to hospital with an ischaemic stroke on 18 November 2020 and died on 21 November 2020; the report found it more likely than not that Edoxaban may have prevented the fatal event. A substantive concern was that the discharge summary was not received by the GP practice and contained an incorrect GP practice identifier, with medication-transfer processes also failing to identify the omission.
