Report metadata

Field Value
PFD reference 2025-0454
Registered primary source SRC-209
Report date 2025-09-05
Coroner area Rutland and North Leicestershire
Clinical setting Community mental-health care
Care transition Family-supplied evidence and carer views to risk assessment and safety planning
Primary workflow group Risk, care planning and safeguarding
Primary browsing context Mental health 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, Community mental-health care
Information or work-item origin Patient or home
Origin care context(s) Patient or public
Expected action destination Community mental-health care
Destination care context(s) Community care
Directional pathway Patient or home → Community mental-health care
Care-setting span One care setting
Sector boundary Health services only
Failure point Receiving or action service
Classification confidence medium

Classification note: Video and family observations arose in the home and were offered to a community mental-health assessment; the exact SystmOne assurance path is not fully specified.

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; qualified extraction
Response evidence status Response evidence noted
Registered response sources SRC-267
Non-exclusive mechanism codes GOV, VIS, HF, PROV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: The report contains extensive clinical-assessment and service concerns; mobile video and SystmOne assurance are future-risk issues and not isolated causal findings

“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

Unclear use of modern evidence formats and carer information could leave assessments and safety plans incomplete

Requested action

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust to clarify clinical use of video and assurance around carer information

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type Mobile video and SystmOne
Digital function Alternative-format evidence and carer-information capture
Failure mode There was no clear guidance on using mobile video in assessment and no clear assurance that SystmOne carer-view entries informed follow-up safety plans
Human-factors issue Clinicians unfamiliar with the baseline discounted family interpretation and questioned whether video evidence should be used
Workflow issue No governed process required relevant multimedia and carer information to be reviewed, documented and reflected in the risk plan
Information issue Evidence of episodic psychosis and family knowledge were not reliably incorporated into the clinical risk representation

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.
