Escalation Rules Configuration - **Status**: ✅ Working - **Features**: - Per-hospital escalation rules - Configurable trigger conditions (overdue/after reminder) - Multiple escalation levels - Configurable escalation targets by role ### ⚠️ Components Requiring Production Setup #### 1. First and Second Reminder System - **Status**: ⚠️ Configured but requires Celery Beat - **Current State**: - Email templates exist (bilingual English/Arabic) - SLA configs have reminder times configured - Reminder task (`send_sla_reminders`) is implemented - **Issue**: Requires Celery Beat scheduler to run periodically - **Required Setup**: ```bash # Start Celery Beat celery -A config.celery beat --loglevel=info ``` - **Configuration**: ```python # config/celery.py app.conf.beat_schedule = { 'send-sla-reminders': { 'task': 'apps.complaints.tasks.send_sla_reminders', 'schedule': crontab(minute='*/15'), # Every 15 minutes }, 'check-overdue-complaints': { 'task': 'apps.complaints.tasks.check_overdue_complaints', 'schedule': crontab(minute='*/30'), # Every 30 minutes }, } ``` #### 2. Email Notification Delivery - **Status**: ⚠️ Requires SMTP configuration - **Current State**: - Email templates are ready - Email tasks are implemented - **Issue**: Requires SMTP server configuration - **Required Setup**: ```python # .env EMAIL_BACKEND=django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend EMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com EMAIL_PORT=587 EMAIL_USE_TLS=True EMAIL_HOST_USER=your-email@gmail.com EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your-app-password DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL=noreply@px360.sa ``` ## Model Architecture ### Complaint Model (apps/complaints/models.py) **SLA-Related Fields:** ```python # SLA Management due_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True, db_index=True) is_overdue = models.BooleanField(default=False, db_index=True) # Reminder Tracking reminder_sent_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) second_reminder_sent_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) # Escalation Tracking escalated_at = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True) escalation_level = models.IntegerField(default=0) escalated_to = models.ForeignKey('accounts.User', related_name='escalated_complaints', ...) # SLA Metadata metadata = models.JSONField(default=dict, blank=True) ``` **Key Methods:** - `calculate_sla_due_date()` - Calculates SLA deadline based on config - `check_overdue()` - Updates overdue status and triggers escalation if needed - `send_sla_reminder()` - Sends reminder notifications - `escalate()` - Escalates complaint to next level ### ComplaintSLAConfig Model **Purpose**: Configure SLA deadlines and reminders per hospital/severity/priority **Key Fields:** ```python hospital = models.ForeignKey(Hospital, ...) severity = models.CharField(choices=SeverityChoices.choices) priority = models.CharField(choices=PriorityChoices.choices) sla_hours = models.IntegerField(help_text="SLA in hours") # Reminder Configuration reminder_hours_before = models.IntegerField(help_text="First reminder hours before deadline") second_reminder_enabled = models.BooleanField(default=False) second_reminder_hours_before = models.IntegerField(help_text="Second reminder hours before deadline") # Email Options thank_you_email_enabled = models.BooleanField(default=True) ``` ### EscalationRule Model **Purpose**: Configure multi-level escalation rules **Key Fields:** ```python hospital = models.ForeignKey(Hospital, ...) escalation_level = models.IntegerField(unique=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=200) # Trigger Configuration trigger_on_overdue = models.BooleanField(default=True) trigger_hours_overdue = models.IntegerField(default=0, help_text="Hours overdue to trigger") # Reminder-based Escalation reminder_escalation_enabled = models.BooleanField(default=False) reminder_escalation_hours = models.IntegerField(default=0, help_text="Hours after reminder to escalate") # Target Configuration escalate_to_role = models.CharField(choices=ROLE_CHOICES) escalate_to_user = models.ForeignKey('accounts.User', ...) ``` ## Task Architecture (apps/complaints/tasks.py) ### Celery Tasks #### 1. send_sla_reminders **Purpose**: Send first and second reminders for complaints approaching deadline **Frequency**: Every 15 minutes (recommended) **Logic**: 1. Query open/in-progress complaints with due_at within reminder window 2. Check if reminder already sent 3. Send email notification (bilingual) 4. Update reminder_sent_at or second_reminder_sent_at 5. Create timeline update #### 2. check_overdue_complaints **Purpose**: Check for overdue complaints and trigger escalation **Frequency**: Every 30 minutes (recommended) **Logic**: 1. Query complaints with due_at < now 2. Call check_overdue() on each 3. If overdue and not yet escalated, trigger escalation 4. Create timeline update #### 3. escalate_complaint_auto **Purpose**: Automatically escalate complaint based on escalation rules **Logic**: 1. Find matching escalation rule for current level 2. Check if trigger condition is met (overdue hours or reminder hours) 3. Assign to escalation target (user or role) 4. Update escalation_level, escalated_at, escalated_to 5. Create timeline update 6. Send notification to new assignee #### 4. escalate_after_reminder **Purpose**: Escalate complaints that haven't been addressed after reminder **Frequency**: Every hour (recommended) **Logic**: 1. Query complaints with second_reminder_sent_at > X hours ago 2. Check for reminder escalation rules 3. Escalate if conditions met ## Production Recommendations ### 1. Immediate Actions Required #### A. Configure Email Settings ```bash # Update .env file EMAIL_BACKEND=django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend EMAIL_HOST=your-smtp-host EMAIL_PORT=587 EMAIL_USE_TLS=True EMAIL_HOST_USER=your-smtp-username EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your-smtp-password DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL=noreply@px360.sa ``` #### B. Start Celery Workers and Beat ```bash # Terminal 1: Celery Worker celery -A config.celery worker --loglevel=info # Terminal 2: Celery Beat (scheduler) celery -A config.celery beat --loglevel=info ``` #### C. Configure Celery Beat Schedule ```python # config/celery.py app.conf.beat_schedule = { 'send-sla-reminders-every-15-minutes': { 'task': 'apps.complaints.tasks.send_sla_reminders', 'schedule': crontab(minute='*/15'), }, 'check-overdue-complaints-every-30-minutes': { 'task': 'apps.complaints.tasks.check_overdue_complaints', 'schedule': crontab(minute='*/30'), }, 'escalate-after-reminder-every-hour': { 'task': 'apps.complaints.tasks.escalate_after_reminder', 'schedule': crontab(minute='0'), }, } ``` ### 2. SLA Configuration Guidelines #### Default SLA Recommendations | Severity | Priority | SLA Hours | First Reminder | Second Reminder | |----------|----------|-----------|----------------|-----------------| | high | high | 24 | 12h | 3h | | high | medium | 48 | 24h | 6h | | medium | high | 48 | 24h | 6h | | medium | medium | 72 | 48h | 12h | | low | low | 120 | 72h | 24h | #### Escalation Rule Recommendations | Level | Name | Trigger | Hours | Target | |-------|------|---------|-------|--------| | 1 | First Escalation | Overdue | 0h | Department Manager | | 2 | Second Escalation | After Reminder | 12h | Hospital Admin | | 3 | Third Escalation | Overdue | 24h | PX Admin | ### 3. Monitoring and Alerts #### Key Metrics to Monitor 1. **SLA Compliance Rate** - Percentage of complaints resolved within SLA - Track by hospital, department, severity, priority 2. **Overdue Complaints** - Number of overdue complaints - Average hours overdue - Time to resolution after overdue 3. **Escalation Rate** - Number of escalated complaints - Escalation level distribution - Time to resolution after escalation 4. **Reminder Effectiveness** - Complaints resolved after first reminder - Complaints resolved after second reminder - Complaints requiring escalation #### Recommended Monitoring Queries ```python # SLA Compliance by Hospital from django.db.models import Count, Case, When, IntegerField Complaint.objects.values('hospital__name').annotate( total=Count('id'), on_time=Count(Case( When(resolved_at__lte=F('due_at'), then=1), output_field=IntegerField() )), overdue=Count(Case( When(is_overdue=True, then=1), output_field=IntegerField() )) ) # Average Resolution Time from django.db.models import Avg Complaint.objects.filter( status=ComplaintStatus.CLOSED ).annotate( resolution_time=ExpressionWrapper( F('resolved_at') - F('created_at'), output_field=DurationField() ) ).aggregate(avg_resolution=Avg('resolution_time')) ``` ### 4. Best Practices #### A. SLA Configuration - Start with conservative SLA times (more forgiving) - Monitor compliance rates for 2-4 weeks - Adjust based on actual performance data - Different SLAs for different hospitals if needed #### B. Escalation Rules - Configure clear escalation paths - Ensure escalation targets have appropriate permissions - Test escalation paths with sample complaints - Document escalation procedures for staff #### C. Notifications - Use bilingual templates (English/Arabic) - Include clear action items in emails - Provide direct links to complaint details - Test email delivery before production #### D. Timeline Tracking - All SLA-related events should create timeline updates - Include metadata for audit trails - Make timeline visible to all stakeholders - Export timeline for compliance reporting ### 5. Testing Checklist #### Pre-Production Testing - [ ] Create test SLA configs for all hospitals - [ ] Create test escalation rules - [ ] Configure SMTP settings - [ ] Start Celery worker and beat - [ ] Create test complaints at different SLA levels - [ ] Verify first reminders are sent - [ ] Verify second reminders are sent - [ ] Verify overdue detection works - [ ] Verify escalation works correctly - [ ] Verify timeline updates are created - [ ] Verify emails are delivered - [ ] Test escalation paths end-to-end #### Post-Production Monitoring - [ ] Monitor Celery task execution logs - [ ] Monitor email delivery rates - [ ] Monitor SLA compliance rates - [ ] Monitor escalation effectiveness - [ ] Review overdue complaints daily - [ ] Adjust SLA times based on data ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues #### 1. Reminders Not Being Sent **Symptoms**: No reminder emails, reminder_sent_at is NULL **Causes**: - Celery Beat not running - Email settings not configured - SMTP server not reachable **Solutions**: ```bash # Check Celery Beat is running ps aux | grep celery # Check Celery Beat logs tail -f logs/celery_beat.log # Test email configuration python manage.py shell >>> from django.core.mail import send_mail >>> send_mail('Test', 'Test message', 'from@example.com', ['to@example.com']) ``` #### 2. Overdue Detection Not Working **Symptoms**: is_overdue flag not updating, escalation not triggered **Causes**: - check_overdue_complaints task not running - due_at field is NULL - Timezone configuration issues **Solutions**: ```bash # Check Celery Beat schedule celery -A config.celery inspect registered # Manually trigger overdue check python manage.py shell >>> from apps.complaints.tasks import check_overdue_complaints >>> check_overdue_complaints() ``` #### 3. Escalation Not Working **Symptoms**: Complaints not escalating, escalation_level not increasing **Causes**: - No escalation rules configured - Escalation target users not found - Permission issues **Solutions**: ```python # Check escalation rules from apps.complaints.models import EscalationRule rules = EscalationRule.objects.filter(hospital=hospital, is_active=True) print(rules) # Check escalation target users from apps.accounts.models import User users = User.objects.filter(hospital=hospital, role='department_manager') print(users) # Manually trigger escalation from apps.complaints.tasks import escalate_complaint_auto result = escalate_complaint_auto.delay(str(complaint.id)) print(result.get()) ``` ## Conclusion The SLA system is **production-ready** with the following components fully functional: ✅ SLA Configuration ✅ Overdue Detection ✅ Automatic Escalation ✅ Timeline Tracking ✅ Multi-level Escalation Rules ✅ Bilingual Email Templates **Required for Production**: - Celery Beat scheduler - SMTP email configuration - SLA configuration for each hospital - Escalation rules for each hospital **Recommended Timeline**: 1. Week 1: Configure SMTP and start Celery Beat 2. Week 2: Set up SLA configs and escalation rules 3. Week 3: Test with sample complaints 4. Week 4: Go live and monitor ## Additional Resources - **SLA Configuration UI**: `/complaints/sla-config/` - **Escalation Rules UI**: `/complaints/escalation-rules/` - **Complaint Detail View**: Shows SLA status and timeline - **Admin Panel**: Monitor SLA compliance rates - **API Endpoints**: Available for integration with external systems ## Contact For questions or issues with the SLA system, please refer to: - Technical Documentation: `/docs/` - API Documentation: `/docs/API_ENDPOINTS.md` - Implementation Guide: `/docs/SLA_SYSTEM_SETUP_AND_TESTING_GUIDE.md`
