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

Technical Notes
Database Changes
- Added
second_reminder_sent_atfield tocomplaints_complainttable - Migration:
0012_add_second_reminder_field.py - All migrations applied successfully
Celery Configuration

- From address: Configurable in settings
Performance Considerations
- Queries optimized with indexes
- Celery tasks run asynchronously
- Email sending is non-blocking
- Timeline updates are lightweight
Security Considerations
- All SLA configurations require authentication
- Email content is templated to prevent injection
- Escalation targets are validated
- User preferences respected
- Audit trail in timeline updates
Compliance Notes
- Bilingual support for Arabic-speaking regions
- Data privacy compliance (no sensitive data in logs)
- Email content follows professional standards
- Escalation paths documented and approved

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.
