Interim bulletin: harm caused by delays in transferring patients to the right place of care

Interim bulletin: harm caused by delays in transferring patients to the right place of care This investigation explores issues around patient handover to emergency care. This bulletin outlines early investigation findings and recommends a national response to tackle this issue. Findings so far emphasise that an effective response should consider the interactions of the whole system: an end-to-end approach that does not just focus on one area of health care and prioritises patient safety.
