PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to maintain effective patient flow

Wider context from the report

“The issues of admission to the Emergency Department/availability of resources/patient flow and the multifactorial problems associated with cases of this nature have been reported upon by the Senior Coroner on several occasions following previous inquests. Despite the above reports issued to the Health Board these problems continue to the present day and patients lives are being placed at risk as a result. Whilst I am aware that all necessary parties are working towards a system plan to address these issues and that elements of that plan have been agreed, there remains no agreed and effective system plan in place. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Failure to maintain safe hospital patient flow.
