The coroner’s concerns
– (1) That an elderly patient who was still very unwell was discharged home very late in the evening without a detailed care plan being in place, His immediate family were unaware of the discharge and there was no food or provision for him in the house despite being a type 2 diabetic. (2) Inadequate planning and management of patient discharge will put patients lives at risk.
