The coroner's concerns
1. lack of awareness of updated Night Orders regarding medical emergency coding
“understand that the coding system for a medical emergency, code red/code blue, was not part of the Night Orders at the time of Mr [name redacted] death. However, the Night Orders have since been amended to include this emergency coding. My concern is as to whether or not all staff are aware of the change in the Night Orders.”
