flag A woman with severe mental illness died due to care coordination failures, prompting calls for systemic reform.

flag An inquest into the death of Tiesha Derbyshire, a woman with severe mental health conditions, has exposed gaps in care coordination at Ipswich Hospital and related services. flag Despite her history of self-harm and multiple hospitalizations, communication failures between her psychiatrists and general practitioner left her GP unaware of her full risk level. flag The inquest cited missed opportunities for better care, including underuse of a federal Medicare-funded case conferencing program, and highlighted psychosocial stressors, including the loss of a close friend and an alleged inappropriate relationship with a nurse who was later reprimanded. flag Family members said systemic failures and trauma contributed to her death. flag The coroner recommended improved patient search protocols and stronger implementation of care coordination measures to prevent future tragedies.
