Exception Management

Why Exceptions Exist

Exceptions exist because protocols cannot anticipate all circumstances. Their presence signals system maturity, not failure. A system without exception handling is a system that cannot recognize its own limits.

Detection Mechanisms

Exceptions are detected through defined criteria: metabolic instability, adherence deviation, adverse event signals, or prescriber intervention. Detection is systematic, not discretionary.

Escalation Paths

Escalation follows predefined paths. Severity determines routing. Higher-severity exceptions reach clinical oversight faster. Escalation is logged and time-stamped.

Responsibility Preservation

Exception handling preserves responsibility attribution. When an exception is escalated, the receiving party assumes documented responsibility. Chain of custody is maintained throughout resolution.
