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 2018-0165
Registered primary source SRC-117
Report date 2018-05-21
Coroner area Avon
Clinical setting Custodial and community healthcare
Care transition Custody healthcare assessment and follow-up
Primary workflow group Referral, handover and transfer
Primary browsing context Secure and custodial care
Predominant information boundary Within a care setting

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 Prison, custody or secure healthcare
Information or work-item origin Prison, custody or secure healthcare
Origin care context(s) Secure or custodial healthcare
Expected action destination Prison, custody or secure healthcare
Destination care context(s) Secure or custodial healthcare
Directional pathway Prison, custody or secure healthcare → Prison, custody or secure healthcare
Care-setting span One care setting
Sector boundary Health services only
Failure point Multiple points
Classification confidence high

Classification note: The oversedation observation arose and required review within custodial healthcare. Delayed or incomplete recording and failure to review or act affected both creation and use of the work item.

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 LOOP, VIS, PROV, HF

Qualification recorded in the dataset: The jury found that combined neglect contributed to the death; the SystmOne and documentation mechanisms were among several factors and are not isolated causally

“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.

These fields are analytical summaries, not quotations.

Project summary of the coroner's concern

Recording and review arrangements did not ensure that oversedation risk prompted clinical action

Requested action

Bristol Community Health to act

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type SystmOne
Digital function Medication-risk documentation and action
Failure mode An oversedation observation recorded in SystmOne was not reliably reviewed or acted on, and documentation was incomplete or delayed
Human-factors issue Record availability was treated as equivalent to active communication
Workflow issue No owned escalation closed the loop on the recorded medication risk
Information issue The longitudinal record did not provide a timely, actioned account of the deterioration

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.
