Report metadata

Field Value
PFD reference 2018-0129
Registered primary source SRC-112
Report date 2018-09-12
Coroner area Warwickshire
Clinical setting Community mental-health care
Care transition Telephone triage, GP and mental-health services
Primary workflow group Risk, care planning and safeguarding
Primary browsing context Mental health 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 Community mental-health care, Primary care
Information or work-item origin Community mental-health care
Origin care context(s) Community care
Expected action destination Multiple settings or services
Destination care context(s) Community care, Primary care
Directional pathway Community mental-health care → Multiple settings or services
Care-setting span Multiple care settings
Sector boundary Health services only
Failure point Multiple points
Classification confidence medium

Classification note: 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.

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, LOOP, GOV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: The inquest concerned suicide; the report records documentation and sharing concerns but does not make a separate causal finding about RiO or national interoperability

“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

Mental-health contacts and risk information were not consistently recorded and available across services

Requested action

Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust to act

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type RiO and separate national or primary-care records
Digital function Telephone-contact documentation and record sharing
Failure mode A material telephone triage contact was not recorded in RiO and the available systems did not provide dependable cross-service sharing
Human-factors issue Clinicians assessing later risk could not see the complete recent contact history
Workflow issue No reliable workflow ensured that telephone assessment entered the longitudinal record and was shared
Information issue Risk-relevant information remained local or absent from the accessible record

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.
