Constitutional summary

Canonical case

Multiple Consultant Recommendations Without Demonstrable Reconciliation Into One Executable Inpatient Management Plan

Constitutional first cause

The Engine begins when: Multiple independent specialty recommendations require synthesis into one active inpatient management plan. Not at discharge. Not at admission. At the moment multiple accountable plans begin interacting.

Obligation architecture

  1. 1Event observed — Multiple specialty recommendations issued.
  2. 2Recommendations acknowledged.
  3. 3Conflicts identified.
  4. 4Priority determined.
  5. 5Unified inpatient plan established.
  6. 6Responsibilities assigned.
  7. 7Execution monitored.
  8. 8Plan updated as new recommendations arrive.
  9. 9Discharge obligations derived.
  10. 10Transfer to outpatient accountability verified.

Constitutional observations

What The Engine makes visible

Current systems demonstrate: consultant note completed; recommendation documented; orders entered. They rarely demonstrate: which recommendation became authoritative; why one recommendation superseded another; how conflicting obligations were reconciled; whether every team understood the unified plan. That is the accountability center of hospital medicine.

Demonstration

No worked demonstration is provisioned for this specialty in this build. Occupational Medicine (Specialty 25) is the first domain and carries the worked demonstration; the constitutional architecture above is shared across specialties.
