This isn't a theoretical gap. NHS England stated in October 2024 that primary care should *"have information systems that automatically flag patient safety issues such as missed patient referral follow-ups, safeguarding, diagnoses and medication issues."* A [2022 JMIR framework](https://medinform.jmir.org/2022/8/e35726) for evaluating e-safety-netting tools concluded that **no tools currently available meet all the criteria**. Existing solutions (EMIS templates, Ardens, SystmOne flags) are passive reminders embedded in EHR systems — none actively contact the patient, collect a response, or analyse it.
