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 2025-0144
Registered primary source SRC-047
Report date 2025-03-17
Coroner area Essex
Clinical setting Mental health inpatient/discharge
Care transition Ward to community discharge
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 Inpatient or secure mental-health care, Community mental-health care
Information or work-item origin Inpatient or secure mental-health care
Origin care context(s) Secondary care
Expected action destination Multiple settings or services
Destination care context(s) Secondary care, Community care
Directional pathway Inpatient or secure mental-health care → Multiple settings or services
Care-setting span Multiple care settings
Sector boundary Health services only
Failure point Multiple points
Classification confidence high

Classification note: Inpatient care and risk records were inaccurate or stale, a key disclosure did not reach discharge decision-makers, and no community care coordinator was allocated.

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 PROV, LOOP, GOV, IDPOP

Qualification recorded in the dataset: One of several serious causative failings

“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

Repeated record, care-planning and governance failures remained inadequately controlled

Requested action

Trust to act

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type Electronic care and risk records
Digital function Care planning/documentation
Failure mode Copied text included another patient's details and care/risk records were not updated
Human-factors issue Copy/paste and stale documentation distorted the record
Workflow issue Key disclosure did not reach decision-makers; allocation error escaped detection
Information issue Inaccurate and incomplete risk 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.
