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.

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.
