The coroner's concerns
1. lack of comprehensive patient history
“The nurse who assessed [the deceased] after an episode of self harm was unaware of some of the significant events in [the deceased]'s history. She explained that the RiO system (an electronic patient record system used in many Trusts) did not flag up or summarise such events or primary concerns and issues in a single place, and there was insufficient time to read all of the notes (which might be voluminous) before seeing a patient. Had she been aware of the full history her actions may have been different in [the deceased]'s”
