TROUBLESHOOTING ### Common Issues #### Issue 1: Survey Not Triggered **Symptom:** Patient discharged but survey not sent **Possible Causes:** 1. Journey template doesn't have `send_post_discharge_survey=True` 2. Journey status not set to COMPLETED 3. Discharge date not set in HIS data **Solution:** ```python # Check journey template journey_template.send_post_discharge_survey = True journey_template.save() # Check journey status journey.status = "COMPLETED" journey.completed_at = discharge_date journey.save() ``` #### Issue 2: Email Delivery Failed **Symptom:** Survey status stays PENDING **Possible Causes:** 1. Patient has no email address 2. Email address is invalid 3. NotificationService API not responding 4. SMTP not configured **Solution:** ```python # Check patient email patient.email # Should not be None or empty # Check NotificationService logs from apps.notifications.models import NotificationLog logs = NotificationLog.objects.filter(channel="EMAIL").last() # Check survey status survey.status # Should be SENT if successful ``` #### Issue 3: NOT NULL Constraint Violation **Symptom:** `NOT NULL constraint failed: organizations_patient.email` **Solution:** ```python # Use NULL-safe email handling email = patient_data.get("Email") email = email if email else '' # Convert None to empty string ``` --- ## 8.
