This report repeats 1 earlier warning. See the linked reports.
The coroner's concerns
1. lack of electronic access to primary care medical notes
“Hospital doctors, including in the Emergency Department and Paediatrics, do not have electronic access to primary care medical notes e.g. GP notes, community mental health notes etc.”
2. information silos in healthcare
“Access may also enable doctors to have a more global view of a patient's medical condition rather than, as it was put at Inquest, "working in silos"”
3. absence of primary care record access
“All the doctors that gave evidence to the Inquest stated that access to primary care records would undoubtedly assist them in delivering better patient treatment and care”
4. inadequate information for autistic non-verbal patients
“It was felt that access to such information was particularly important in cases such as the present when a patient is autistic and non-verbal”
