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 2025-0232
Registered primary source SRC-045
Report date 2025-05-19
Coroner area East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull
Clinical setting Primary/out-of-hours care
Care transition Registered GP to urgent treatment centre
Primary workflow group Record access and continuity
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
Information or work-item origin Primary care
Origin care context(s) Primary care
Expected action destination Primary care
Destination care context(s) Primary care
Directional pathway Primary care → Primary care
Care-setting span Multiple care settings
Sector boundary Health services only
Failure point Transfer or interface
Classification confidence high

Classification note: The registered GP's history could not be exchanged from EMIS to the SystmOne urgent-treatment-centre out-of-hours service despite consent. Both are distinct primary-care services, so the pathway crosses care settings even though both share the PRIMARY_CARE code.

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 INT, VIS, GOV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: Natural-causes conclusion; concern is future information risk

“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

Key history should be conveyed to out-of-hours care when consent permits

Requested action

Practice, CQC, RCGP and NHS England to act

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type EMIS and SystmOne
Digital function Record exchange
Failure mode Consented GP history was not accessible across different systems
Human-factors issue Clinician could not see relevant prior condition unless patient volunteered it
Workflow issue Exchange depended on technical compatibility and consent state
Information issue Medical summary unavailable

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.
