HSIB - 2 February 2023
This investigation aims to improve patient safety by supporting staff to access critical information about patients, at their bedsides, in emergency situations.
In this investigation critical patient information has been defined as 'information about patients that needs to be accessed rapidly and accurately to ensure correct care is delivered when it is required'. The types of information seen as 'critical' will depend on the particular context and situation.
In this investigation critical information was considered through a focus on patient identifiers (such as name and date of birth) and decisions relating to whether someone is recommended to receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if their heart stops (cardiac arrest).
