The coroner's concerns
1. delayed action on radiology reports
“the x-ray taken of Mrs. [name redacted] hip, reported on by the consultant radiologist on the 19" December 2012, was not acted upon until the 3° January 2013. It was recognised that the Hospital "do not have a robust process for tracking that the emergency department consultants have looked at the radiology reports." Without such a system | believe further deaths may occur in the future”
2. lack of electronic notes access for GPs
“The GPs who attend the Windsor Intermediate Care Unit do not have access to the electronic hospital notes and records and those witnesses from WICU who attended the inquest considered that such access would improve the care afforded to patients. Similarly without access to the patients notes further deaths may occur in the future.”
