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 2025-0121
Registered primary source SRC-055
Report date 2025-03-04
Coroner area England
Clinical setting Primary care/community pharmacy
Care transition Prescribing across primary and pharmacy care
Primary workflow group Medication and prescribing
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 Primary care, Pharmacy or dispensing service
Information or work-item origin Unclear
Origin care context(s) Unclear
Expected action destination Multiple settings or services
Destination care context(s) Primary care, Pharmacy
Directional pathway Unclear → 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 report identifies the absence of an interaction alert across primary-care prescribing and community-pharmacy checking, but it does not support a single setting where the safety-relevant work item originated. Action was expected in both contexts, so destination and failure point are coded as multiple while origin remains unclear.

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 ALERT, VIS, GOV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: Primary report verified

“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

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.
