Fragmentation between health and social care contributed to reduced responsibility for healthcare professionals in emergency departments to support social and non-urgent needs, likely increasing the patient's risk of under-triage.
“Additionally, fragmentation between health and social care contributed to reduced responsibility for HCPs in emergency departments to support social and non-urgent needs, likely increasing the patient’s risk of under-triage (CMOC13) [47, 49, 56, 60, 76, 77, 82, 90, 93, 94].”

When healthcare professionals did not develop workarounds, patients were discharged into unsafe living situations, and readmissions were increased.
“When HCPs did not develop ‘workarounds’, patients were discharged into unsafe living situations, and readmissions were increased [90, 97] (CMOC20).”

Fragmentation between health and social care further contributed to unmet needs, as the distribution of responsibilities limited the care needs covered by support packages from providers, creating difficulties organising post-discharge care.
“Fragmentation between health and social care further contributed to unmet needs, as the distribution of responsibilities limited the care needs covered by support packages from providers (e.g. personal care), creating difficulties organising post-discharge care [45, 90].”

In practice, admission and discharge procedures prioritise the admission diagnosis and do not adequately account for dementia symptoms (e.g. cognitive decline, BPSD).
“Our findings suggest that in practice however, admission and discharge procedures prioritise the admission diagnosis, and do not adequately account for dementia symptoms (e.g. cognitive decline, BPSD) [47, 49, 56, 60, 76, 77, 90, 93].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
