Report metadata

Field Value
PFD reference 2023-0312
Registered primary source SRC-022
Report date 2023-08-22
Coroner area Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
Clinical setting Hospital
Care transition Eldercare to surgery
Primary workflow group Medication and prescribing
Primary browsing context Acute and emergency care
Predominant information boundary Hybrid paper and digital record

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 Secondary acute or outpatient care
Information or work-item origin Secondary acute or outpatient care
Origin care context(s) Secondary care
Expected action destination Secondary acute or outpatient care
Destination care context(s) Secondary care
Directional pathway Secondary acute or outpatient care → Secondary acute or outpatient care
Care-setting span One care setting
Sector boundary Health services only
Failure point Multiple points
Classification confidence high

Classification note: A medication recommendation in the eldercare paper notes did not transfer reliably into the surgical team's digital prescribing workflow, and the suspended anticoagulant then lacked a dependable review alert. Material failures therefore occurred both at the paper-to-digital interface and at the destination review point within the same hospital.

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 VIS, ALERT, LOOP, HF, PROV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: Strong hybrid-record example

“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.

Project summary of the coroner's concern

Record inconsistency, handwritten-note alerting and EPMA suspension review required action

Requested action

Hospital Trust to act

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type Paper notes, NerveCentre and EPMA
Digital function Medication suspension/record alerts
Failure mode Paper recommendation was not surfaced digitally and suspended anticoagulant lacked review alert
Human-factors issue Clinicians preferred different representations; critical paper note was not flagged
Workflow issue No forced review of ongoing suspension
Information issue Recommendation split across paper and digital records

Downstream Defence trace

Canonical candidate requirements that cite this report: REQ-007, REQ-009, REQ-012. These links are analytical translations and do not make the requirement a coronial recommendation or a validated Defence control.

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.
