Evidence assurance and uncertainty
This generated view assembles the current assurance position from canonical report, claim, requirement, test and validation records. It is a disclosure dashboard, not a quality score. A linked primary source establishes provenance for what the report states; it does not remove extraction, causal, coverage, response or transferability limits.

Qualified and medium-confidence records
Qualified extractions
| Report | Primary source | Extraction confidence | Recorded qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amy Chapman — 2026-0247 | SRC-182 |
high | The coroner found gross failures of basic care around record checking and leave decisions; the report raises the alert and audit design as ongoing concerns but does not isolate SystmOne as the cause. The source describes the Haven Unit as an informal community-based placement. |
| Kiefer Fraser-Phillips — 2026-0216 | SRC-185 |
high | The death was recorded as sudden unexplained death in schizophrenia; the report presents observation-recording resilience as a future risk rather than a causal finding. The Judiciary page says 2026-04-14 while the embedded PFD is signed 2026-04-15. |
| Gareth Chumber-Kelly — 2026-0073 | SRC-193 |
high | The jury identified inadequate medical-record review and continuity among multiple probable contributing failures; the report does not isolate the paper or email mechanism. The Judiciary page says 'North London', while the embedded signed PFD says 'Inner North London'. |
| Nigel Feckey — 2026-0047 | SRC-197 |
medium | The digital mechanisms are explicit in the jury narrative and circumstances, but the formal Regulation 28 concern and requested action relate only to offence-neutrality policy; the report found the prisoner was primarily let down by the custodial system |
| Alan Peet — 2025-0609 | SRC-221 |
high | The report says it was likely entries were made under another nurse's details and does not establish exactly who entered each item; the death also involved staffing, training and clinical-care failures |
| Alan Mitchell — 2025-0577 | SRC-203 |
medium | The coroner expressly stated that removal of the prescription played no causal part in this death. Optum's response disputes the reported default mechanism: it says repeat medication does not expire automatically unless an authorised user enables and configures that function, after which the item moves from Current to Past. The mechanism remains a recorded source disagreement |
| Amy Cross — 2025-0531 | SRC-219 |
high | The jury concluded natural causes; the report identifies the record-transfer gap as future risk rather than finding it caused death. Page metadata gives 2025-10-22 while the report is signed 2025-10-20 |
| James Cochrane — 2025-0454 | SRC-209 |
high | The report contains extensive clinical-assessment and service concerns; mobile video and SystmOne assurance are future-risk issues and not isolated causal findings |
| Venetia Pierce — 2025-0427 | SRC-210 |
medium | The report found nitrofurantoin-induced pneumonitis more likely than not led to death. EMIS's response says patient-specific warnings were displayed, including an age-related warning to monitor lung and liver function, and that MHRA alerts remained accessible through BNF and Safety Check. This counter-position qualifies, but does not erase, the coroner's concern about the specific alert presented in the prescribing workflow |
| Myles Scriven — 2025-0357 | SRC-215 |
high | Neglect contributed to death through lack of adjustments; the EPR entry itself was accurate. Page metadata gives 2025-07-11 while the embedded report is signed 2025-07-14 |
| Francis Barnes — 2023-0417 | SRC-059 |
medium | Delayed transfer and surgery contributed to death; the report did not find the absence of an electronic referral system causal. The response retained telephone referral for emergencies and proposed a Microsoft 365 documentation form |
The 4 overall medium-confidence extractions are: Nigel Feckey — 2026-0047, Alan Mitchell — 2025-0577, Venetia Pierce — 2025-0427, Francis Barnes — 2023-0417.
Medium care-pathway classifications
| Report | Primary source | Classification note |
|---|---|---|
| Amy Chapman — 2026-0247 | SRC-182 |
The PFD expressly describes the Haven Unit as an informal community-based placement at Millview Hospital; the physical configuration is not further resolved, so it is not coded as an inpatient unit. |
| Alan Peet — 2025-0609 | SRC-221 |
The electronic care and medication entries were created and used inside one nursing care home; the source qualifies authorship as likely rather than certain. |
| Anthony Card — 2026-0068 | SRC-195 |
The police report was intended for whichever primary or mental-health provider held responsibility; the source does not identify one receiving care service. |
| James Cochrane — 2025-0454 | SRC-209 |
Video and family observations arose in the home and were offered to a community mental-health assessment; the exact SystmOne assurance path is not fully specified. |
| Chloe Burgess — 2025-0121 | SRC-055 |
The report identifies the absence of an interaction alert across primary-care prescribing and community-pharmacy checking, but it does not support a single setting where the safety-relevant work item originated. Action was expected in both contexts, so destination and failure point are coded as multiple while origin remains unclear. |
| Greg Hutchins — 2018-0129 | SRC-112 |
The telephone-triage contact arose in a community mental-health service, was not recorded in RiO and could not be shared rapidly for a patient from outside the area. The canonical extraction includes GP and mental-health services but the primary report does not identify one later accountable destination. |
| Patricia Heslop — 2018-0102 | SRC-110 |
Changes in presentation and care-plan information arose principally in the care home and were needed by care-home staff, primary care and external reviewers. The source does not isolate a single recipient or failure point across the fragmented forms. |
| David Buttriss — 2018-0010 | SRC-108 |
Material risk and recent-contact information was held across GP, out-of-hours, mental-health and acute services. The report does not support one directional pathway, so origin and destination remain multiple; cross-service record access was the predominant failure. |
These classifications support browsing only. They remain subject to the independent recoding gate in VAL-020.
Response and counter-position coverage
| Dataset response status | Reports |
|---|---|
| No official response located | 4 |
| Not assessed in this dataset | 45 |
| Response evidence noted | 63 |
The response catalogue has two distinct gaps: 45 reports are not assessed in this dataset, while 4 record that no official response was located in the existing search. Neither status proves that a recipient failed to respond. The current data is report-level and attachment-level; it does not yet normalise every recipient, deadline, promised action, completion claim or independent implementation check.
Registered counter-position classes:
| Class | Records |
|---|---|
| Compatible clarification | 3 |
| Counter-risk | 1 |
| Documentary anomaly | 1 |
| Material disagreement | 5 |

Selective claim and Defence trace
The claims register contains 28 stable claims covering 22 included reports. It is intentionally selective: report-specific fields remain in the included-case dataset, while stable claim IDs are used where explicit cross-case or downstream traceability is needed. 23 claims feed 13 candidate requirements.
| Candidate requirement status | Requirements |
|---|---|
candidate_partial_trace_defence_unvalidated |
2 |
candidate_trace_complete_defence_unvalidated |
11 |
| Assurance-test status | Tests |
|---|---|
designed_not_executed |
13 |
No candidate status establishes Defence applicability, approval or implementation. No designed-test status establishes conformance or clinical safety.
Open and partial validation gates
| ID | Priority | Task | Needed evidence | Current status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VAL-003 | 1 | Complete and document the current discovery and screening pass | Search log, inclusion/exclusion table, deduplication | Partial — 165 retained candidates logged, 112 included and 53 excluded; the 2018 publication cohort is completely enumerated and extracted in a 379-row manifest, but only 36 cohort rows have retained screening decisions and the other 343 lack row-level contextual dispositions; 2019–2026 discovery remains targeted despite the reproducible 2025–2026 publication-date update screen, and later-migration checking remains limited |
| VAL-004 | 2 | Verify present-day EMIS/SystmOne screening behaviour | Current vendor/NHS documentation or assurance evidence | Open |
| VAL-005 | 2 | Test the claim of increasing digital PFD frequency | Yearly counts with stable definition and denominator | Open |
| VAL-006 | 1 | Evidence DPHC wrong-practice registration risks | DMICP workflow, cohort/search tests, incidents or safety cases | Awaiting sponsor material |
| VAL-009 | 1 | Resolve conflicting official ICMM submission deadlines | Direct submission portal check and, if needed, organiser confirmation | Open — 3 August vs 14 July 2026 |
| VAL-010 | 1 | Close rapid-review search and release audited counts | Completed screening log, deduplication, full-text decisions and code recount | Current pass complete; final pre-submission rerun remains open |
| VAL-011 | 1 | Independently recheck inclusion, extraction and mechanism coding | Second-reviewer decisions with adjudication record and source-lineage audit | Open |
| VAL-012 | 1 | Validate candidate Defence requirements and assurance scenarios | DPHC workflow evidence, CORTISONE baseline, clinical-safety review, representative users and authorised test results | Open — all REQ- items are unvalidated and all AST- items unexecuted |
| VAL-013 | 2 | Complete official-response coverage for the remaining reports and implementation follow-up | Judiciary attachments, recipient publications and dated implementation evidence | Open — 49 report rows have no registered response letter; landing-page coverage does not establish that none exists elsewhere, and catalogue status does not infer adequacy or implementation |
| VAL-014 | 2 | Recheck controlled workflow, setting and boundary facets | Independent facet assignment and adjudication against full reports | Open — current primary facets are conservative single-reviewer browsing aids |
| VAL-015 | 1 | Re-screen exclusions and borderline reports under the non-circular inclusion rule | Independent full-text decisions based on the digital mechanism, without requiring downstream requirement utility | Open — protocol corrected 2026-07-15 |
| VAL-016 | 1 | Capture a reproducible pre-submission search transcript | Literal queries, surface/database, filters, execution time, result coverage and deduplication output | Partial — the bounded 2018 archive enumeration, attachment hashes, extraction routes and base-family hits are row-reproducible in 2018_publication_cohort_manifest.csv; complete contextual dispositions for all 379 rows and the wider 2019–2026 literal final-search transcript remain open |
| VAL-017 | 1 | Complete a full later-migration search for reports dated in 2018 | All later-created/migrated Judiciary pages with 2018 report dates, report attachments, OCR where required and row-level dispositions | Open — supplementary Ref: 2018 search found pages outside the publication-year cohort; only clearly eligible 2018-0405 was integrated in this backfill |
| VAL-018 | 2 | Resolve Cuthbert Hingert reference discrepancy | Judiciary metadata or corrected official attachment confirming whether 2018-0280 or 2018-0279 is authoritative |
Open — page shows 2018-0280; report-attachment filename shows 2018-0279; dataset provisionally follows the page |
| VAL-019 | 1 | Validate the current DMICP deployment and clinical-safety evidence boundary | Current EMIS PCS/DPCS version/adaptations and central/deployed hosting topology; DMICP route across MCN/MODNet and the security boundary; fixed/deployed configuration baseline; authoritative integration/access catalogue distinguishing native interfaces, browser-only services and unavailable national platforms; onboarding/deployment approvals; adopted clinical-safety regime and role allocation; applicable DCB0129 artefacts from every Manufacturer/adaptor/integrator; local DCB0160-equivalent file, plan, Hazard Log, Clinical Safety Case Reports, incident log and residual-risk acceptance | Open — sponsor confirms the product family, MCN terminology, central hosting/client model, browser-only e-RS access and named unavailable national services, but cannot presently confirm the clinical-safety regime or artefacts. These are recorded as unknown, not absent/non-conformant. Public evidence establishes current use, historical lineage/hosting/MODNet access, PDS integration and dated pathology messaging, but does not independently confirm the exact version/adaptations, complete topology/interface catalogue, direct DMICP–MCN path, control effectiveness, Defence applicability or DCB status. |
| VAL-020 | 2 | Independently validate the care-pathway setting recoding | Second-reviewer check of settings/participants, information origin and destination, non-exclusive origin/destination care contexts, care-setting span, sector boundary, failure point, confidence and note against each primary report, with adjudication of primary/secondary, mental-health, maternity, diagnostic, ambulance, private and secure-care ambiguities | Open — all 112 included rows have a structured single-reviewer care-pathway classification; aggregate counts and directional pathways remain descriptive browsing aids pending independent review. |
