Death Review
Death review is an essential process used in the health care system to identify events leading to the death of an individual and to provide recommendations to improve the quality of care in the future. It involves gathering relevant information such as medical records, interviewing family members, and conducting a physical examination of the deceased in order to analyze the medical and social factors that may have contributed to the death. The review serves multiple purposes, including providing closure for the deceased’s family, reducing potential risk of litigation, and assisting in the training and improvement of healthcare professionals. Death reviews help to identify systemic issues and ensure that recommendations are made to ensure patient safety in the future.
