OPS.11:4.5 - Obtain or return the coordinated decisions

Name which operating policies can change within existing authority, which decisions must be obtained from other holders, and what remains held until an unresolved result is supplied. Distinguish an agreed coordinated plan, a proposed plan awaiting decisions, and the observed implementation.

Return the smallest actionable account: the selected change or alternatives, operative couplings, affected decision-makers, conditions and sequence needed for compatibility, protected consequences, unresolved inputs and next review. Use the existing operating account where it can carry that meaning.

A coordination result can be a partial agreement plus an exact missing return. Do not hide a missing clinical, safety, legal, financial, capability or release decision behind a complete-looking network diagram.
