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 2024-0555
Registered primary source SRC-014
Report date 2024-10-15
Coroner area Manchester South
Clinical setting Primary care
Care transition Patient digital channel to practice
Primary workflow group Messaging, tasking and follow-up
Primary browsing context Primary and community care
Predominant information boundary Patient-to-service channel

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 Patient or home, Primary care
Information or work-item origin Patient or home
Origin care context(s) Patient or public
Expected action destination Primary care
Destination care context(s) Primary care
Directional pathway Patient or home → Primary care
Care-setting span One care setting
Sector boundary Health services only
Failure point Transfer or interface
Classification confidence high

Classification note: Safety-relevant information submitted by the patient entered an administrative practice route but did not transfer into the clinical record or reach a clinician.

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 Response evidence noted
Registered response sources SRC-023
Non-exclusive mechanism codes LOOP, VIS, HF, PROV, GOV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: This identifies the previously provisional Derby digital-enquiry case

“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.

Downstream Defence trace

Canonical candidate requirements that cite this report: REQ-005. 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.
