Architecture Overview

Data Flow

1. Complaint Created
   ↓
2. SLA Config Applied (based on hospital/severity/priority)
   ↓
3. Due Date Calculated (created_at + sla_hours)
   ↓
4. Celery Beat Runs Hourly
   ├─→ Check for First Reminder (hours_until_due <= reminder_hours_before)
   ├─→ Check for Second Reminder (hours_until_due <= second_reminder_hours_before)
   ├─→ Check for Overdue (hours_until_due < 0)
   └─→ Check for Escalation (based on rules)
   ↓
5. Email Sent via Notification Service
   ↓
6. Complaint Update Created (timeline entry)
   ↓
7. If Escalated: Notification sent to escalation target

Configuration Examples

Example SLA Configuration

Medium Priority, Medium Severity

{
    "sla_hours": 48,                    # 2 days total
    "reminder_hours_before": 24,         # First reminder at 24h remaining
    "second_reminder_enabled": True,     # Enable second reminder
    "second_reminder_hours_before": 6,   # Second reminder at 6h remaining
    "thank_you_email_enabled": True      # Send thank you on close
}

High Priority, High Severity

{
    "sla_hours": 24,                    # 1 day total
    "reminder_hours_before": 12,         # First reminder at 12h remaining
    "second_reminder_enabled": True,     # Enable second reminder
    "second_reminder_hours_before": 4,   # Second reminder at 4h remaining
    "thank_you_email_enabled": True      # Send thank you on close
}

Example Escalation Rules

Level 1 - Department Manager

{
    "trigger_on_overdue": True,
    "trigger_hours_overdue": 0,         # Immediately when overdue
    "escalate_to_role": "department_manager"
}

Level 2 - Hospital Admin

{
    "trigger_on_overdue": False,
    "reminder_escalation_enabled": True,
    "reminder_escalation_hours": 12,     # 12 hours after first reminder
    "escalate_to_role": "hospital_admin"
}

Conclusion

The SLA system is production-ready for complaints with the following features:

  • First and second reminders
  • Automatic escalation
  • Timeline tracking
  • Flexible configuration
  • Bilingual support
  • Comprehensive testing
  • Detailed documentation

The system is well-architected, tested, and documented. It's ready for deployment with the recommendation to implement the thank you email feature and set up monitoring before going live.

For SMS support and extended SLA to other entities (observations, action plans, inquiries), additional implementation work is required as outlined in the gap analysis.
