Evidence boundary. This page is a structured project extraction from the linked primary Prevention of Future Deaths source. It is not the report text. Do not infer cause, prevalence or product-wide performance beyond the source and the explicit qualification below.

Report metadata

Field Value
PFD reference 2018-0102
Registered primary source SRC-110
Report date 2018-04-12
Coroner area Sunderland
Clinical setting Care home and community healthcare
Care transition Care home, primary care and external review
Primary workflow group Risk, care planning and safeguarding
Primary browsing context Primary and community care
Predominant information boundary Between care settings

The workflow, browsing-context and predominant-boundary fields are retained navigation aids. They are not additional coronial findings, and a single primary value cannot express every aspect of a multi-setting or multi-mechanism report.

Care-pathway classification

This classification distinguishes where safety-relevant information or work arose, where action was expected and where the digital or information workflow failed. It is a project coding of the source, not a coronial statement. “Origin” does not mean the organisation caused the harm.

Dimension Project classification
Settings and pathway participants Social care, care home or supported living, Primary care, Community health or rehabilitation
Information or work-item origin Social care, care home or supported living
Origin care context(s) Social care
Expected action destination Multiple settings or services
Destination care context(s) Social care, Primary care, Community care
Directional pathway Social care, care home or supported living → Multiple settings or services
Care-setting span Multiple care settings
Sector boundary Health and social care
Failure point Multiple points
Classification confidence medium

Classification note: 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.

Classification confidence applies only to this care-pathway coding. It is separate from extraction confidence, source authority and causal certainty.

Evidence status and qualification

Field Status
Extraction confidence high
Verification status Primary source linked; high-confidence extraction
Response evidence status Not assessed in this dataset
Registered response sources None registered for this row
Non-exclusive mechanism codes INT, PROV, HF, GOV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: The report expressly stated that the identified delay did not cause or contribute to this death; inclusion is based on the explicit concern that numerous forms were used instead of an integrated IT system

“Response evidence noted” means only that the row qualification refers to response/respondent evidence or records a recipient's post-report position. The linked IDs enumerate the official response attachments registered for this row; they do not imply that every response supports every part of the qualification, and they do not establish implementation. “Not assessed” makes no claim about whether a response exists.

Structured project extraction

These fields are analytical summaries, not quotations.

Project summary of the coroner's concern

Multiple forms in place of integrated IT, incomplete records and unclear responsibility created continuing risk

Requested action

Department of Health and HC-One to act

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type Multiple forms without an integrated IT system
Digital function Care-plan and documentation integration
Failure mode Numerous forms, incomplete records and absent integration did not create a coherent current account of care
Human-factors issue Staff were unsure who should complete forms for themselves or on behalf of others
Workflow issue Care plans were not consistently updated and documents were not reliably reviewed or read
Information issue Material changes in presentation were not collated and records were incomplete or inaccurate

Downstream Defence trace

No canonical candidate Defence requirement currently cites this report. This does not imply that the mechanism is irrelevant; any mapping must be added and qualified in the controlled requirements register.

The included-case dataset preserves early legacy_military_relevance and legacy_derived_requirement fields for audit history. They are not published here as requirements and must not override the canonical REQ register. New report rows do not need to populate them.
