PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to provide authorised personnel with access to electronic records across hospital departments during weekends and out-of-hours periods

Wider context from the report

“That at a weekend and out of hours the Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon involved was not able to access the electronic records of other departments within the hospital. This is completely unacceptable. This information is imperative. Arrangements must be made to ensure that full access is given to properly authorised personnel to all hospital records. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

PFD Monitor interpretation

An existing Trust protocol assigns compartment syndrome cases to Trauma and Orthopaedics, except those caused by acute or acute-on-chronic vascular ischaemia.

Verbatim wording from the response

“This lost opportunity is applicable with regard to your concerns arising from the Regulation 28 dealing with clinical practice issues, initially in that there were no agreed protocols for the escalation of patients who develop complications from saphenous vein harvesting sites, particularly in regard to whether there should have been a referral to either the Vascular team or the Trauma and Orthopaedic team. You have stated that ‘very much time was wasted while this matter was resolved’ and that this ‘was unacceptable’.”
