PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to share information between alcohol liaison and inclusion services

Wider context from the report

“The Deceased was alcohol dependant and suffered depressive symptoms. On 22 May 2017 he fell from a window in circumstances very similar to those on 29 October 2017 and on that occasion suffered head injuries and was taken to Southampton General Hospital. After this fall he was regularly drinking excess alcohol leading to multiple admissions to the Emergency Department at Royal Hampshire County Hospital Winchester operated by Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT), but was then discharged once sober without any follow up. On 22 September 2017 he referred himself to the Inclusion Service provided by South Staffordshire & Shropshire NHS Foundation Trust (SSSFT) and started to receive some assistance. On 16 October 2017 the deceased sustained a fall in the street and was taken to Winchester hospital for treatment of his head wound but discharged the same day. There was no sharing of information between the Alcohol Liaison service provided by HHFT and the Inclusion Service provided by SSSFT or coordinated plan to treat his alcohol dependence. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Failure to communicate clinically important information reliably between care services; Unreliable inter-agency information sharing for coordinated care.
