dc.description.abstractSeveral years ago a ten year child with a disability died from "severe malnutrition" according to a Coroners Service inquest jury. The inquest evidence shows that approximately one week prior to this child's death three health care providers conducted individual assessments of the child. Using institutional ethnography as a theoretical and methodological framework, the author conducts a textual analysis of the health care providers' documents generated during their provision of service to this child. Obtained as public documents from the Coroners Service, this data includes: the hospital form, the hospice society records and home care nursing records.en_US
