Planned Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Without Demonstrable Completion of Sequential Therapeutic Reassessment and Course-Completion Obligations
Constitutional first cause
The Engine begins when:
A condition is determined to require a planned course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, creating sequential treatment and reassessment obligations.
Not when wound healing occurs.
Not when the last chamber session finishes.
When the therapeutic course begins.
Obligation architecture
1Event observed — Hyperbaric therapy indicated.
2Indication verified.
3Treatment course established.
4Patient accepts therapy.
5Session schedule created.
6Each session completed.
7Clinical response reassessed.
8Course modified where indicated.
9Completion criteria satisfied.
10Longitudinal outcome verified.
Constitutional observations
What The Engine makes visible
Current systems can demonstrate:
treatments delivered;
chamber logs completed;
wound measurements obtained.
They often cannot demonstrate:
whether continuation remained justified;
whether reassessment changed the treatment plan;
whether early termination created new obligations;
whether completion reflected evidence rather than a predetermined session count.
Again...
The accountable unit is not the treatment session.
It is the longitudinal therapeutic obligation chain.
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.
