Coroner Cites Insufficient Information in Patient Discharge Letter
A coroner has identified that a discharge letter issued by Dr. Boros-Lavack for patient Cauchi contained insufficient information. This deficiency reportedly hindered necessary intervention when the patient transitioned to a new medical practitioner in a different city.
Coroner's Findings Detail Critical Omissions
According to the coroner's report, the discharge letter did not include sufficient details to prompt appropriate action following Cauchi's transfer to a new medical doctor in another city.
The letter failed to provide "sufficient details to prompt appropriate action" following the patient's transfer.
The findings specifically highlighted two critical omissions:
- The letter failed to emphasize the necessity for patient Cauchi to consult a psychiatrist.
- The letter did not prioritize an urgent review of the patient's case.
