Time & money wasted due to communication lack
Came in on Monday Bank holiday with Atrail Fibrilaton. The person who deals with cardioversions was working in A/E at the time and was not informed until ward round a week later. A cardioversion proceedure has been done as day patient in my past. This hospital stay could have released the cost of a £3,000 bed for a patient who had a more urgent need. Instead of staying in MAU where it is noisy for patients who have difficulty sleeping.
