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 2025-0554
Registered primary source SRC-204
Report date 2025-10-31
Coroner area Liverpool and Wirral
Clinical setting Care home and primary care
Care transition Care-home observations and history to GP remote assessment
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 Social care, care home or supported living, Primary care
Information or work-item origin Social care, care home or supported living
Origin care context(s) Social care
Expected action destination Primary care
Destination care context(s) Primary care
Directional pathway Social care, care home or supported living → Primary care
Care-setting span Multiple care settings
Sector boundary Health and social care
Failure point Receiving or action service
Classification confidence high

Classification note: The care home supplied observations and history for a primary-care decision; the receiving GP system contained a flag that was not used.

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-259
Non-exclusive mechanism codes GOV, VIS, HF, PROV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: The evidence did not establish whether GP attendance, closer monitoring or hospital admission would have changed the outcome. The undated practice response says the care home's request form itself called Riversdale a nursing home and records subsequent form and induction changes; this is relevant context for, but does not erase, the coroner's concerns about review of the available information

“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

Available record information and institutional context were not reliably used to assess a vulnerable resident

Requested action

Marine Lake Medical Practice to improve information, recording and remote clinical assessment

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type Typed request form and GP practice record system
Digital function Clinical-context flagging and remote review
Failure mode The GP misread oxygen saturation, misunderstood the care setting and did not consult history that had been supplied and flagged in the practice system
Human-factors issue Remote assessment, similar numerical values and an incorrect assumption that nurses were present reduced attention to available context
Workflow issue No structured verification required review of the setting, timing of observations, prior history or clinical qualifications before disposition
Information issue An oxygen saturation of 84 percent, care-home capability and relevant history were available but not integrated into the decision

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.
