Executive Summary
Comprehensive testing of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) system for complaints has been completed successfully. The SLA system is fully functional with the following key components:
- ✅ SLA Configuration (12 configurations)
- ✅ SLA Deadline Calculation (100% accuracy)
- ✅ Overdue Detection
- ✅ Escalation Rules (3-level hierarchy)
- ✅ Explanation SLA
- ✅ Complaint Thresholds
1. SLA Configuration
Setup Summary
Created 12 SLA configurations covering all severity and priority combinations:
| Severity | Priority | SLA Hours | Reminder Before |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | Low | 72h | 24h |
| Low | Medium | 48h | 24h |
| Low | High | 24h | 12h |
| Medium | Low | 48h | 24h |
| Medium | Medium | 24h | 12h |
| Medium | High | 12h | 6h |
| High | Low | 24h | 12h |
| High | Medium | 12h | 6h |
| High | High | 6h | 3h |
| Critical | Low | 12h | 6h |
| Critical | Medium | 6h | 3h |
| Critical | High | 4h | 2h (with second reminder) |
Key Features

- Dual Reminders: First reminder + optional second reminder for critical cases
- Configurable Thresholds: Customizable reminder timing per SLA config
2. SLA Deadline Calculation
Test Results
All deadline calculations passed with 100% accuracy:
| Test Case | Expected | Actual | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low/Low | 72h | 72.00h | ✅ PASS |
| Medium/Medium | 24h | 24.00h | ✅ PASS |
| High/High | 6h | 6.00h | ✅ PASS |
| Critical/High | 4h | 4.00h | ✅ PASS |
Implementation Details
- Automatic Calculation: SLA deadlines calculated automatically on complaint creation
- Fallback Mechanism: Uses settings defaults if database config not found
- Model Method:
calculate_sla_due_date()in Complaint model - Trigger: Called in
save()method whendue_atis null
3. Overdue Detection
Test Results
- Tested Complaints: 5 open complaints
- Overdue Complaints: 1 (manually set for testing)

check_overdue()model method - Auto-Update: Automatically updates
is_overdueflag
Features
- Real-time Checking: Can be called anytime to check overdue status
- Status Filtering: Only checks active complaints (excludes closed/cancelled)
- Automatic Flag Update: Updates database flag when overdue detected
4. Escalation Rules
Configuration Summary
Created 3-level escalation hierarchy:
| Level | Name | Role | Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Department Manager | Department Manager | 0h after overdue (immediate) |
| 2 | Hospital Admin | Hospital Admin | 4h after overdue |
| 3 | CEO | CEO | 8h after overdue |
Key Features
- Multi-Level Support: Configurable escalation levels
- Severity Filtering: Rules can target specific severities
- Priority Filtering: Rules can target specific priorities
- Flexible Targeting: Can escalate to roles or specific users
- Reminder-Based Escalation: Optional escalation after reminders if no action taken

Escalation Targets
- Department Manager
- Hospital Admin
- PX Admin
- CEO
- Specific User
5. Explanation SLA
Configuration
- Response Time: 48 hours to submit explanation
- Reminder: 12 hours before deadline
- Auto-Escalate: Enabled
- Escalation Delay: 24 hours after overdue
- Max Levels: 3 levels up hierarchy
Features
- Token-Based Access: Staff submit explanations via unique token links

- Reminder System: Sends reminders before deadline
- Overdue Tracking: Monitors overdue explanation requests
6. Complaint Thresholds
Configuration
- Type: Resolution Survey Score
- Threshold: Less than 50%
- Action: Create PX Action
Test Results
| Survey Score | Threshold | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 30% | < 50% | ✅ BREACHED |

For Developers
Creating a Complaint with SLA:
complaint = Complaint.objects.create(
hospital=hospital,
title="Test Complaint",
description="Testing SLA",
severity='high',
priority='high',
status=ComplaintStatus.OPEN
)
# SLA deadline calculated automatically
print(f"Due at: {complaint.due_at}")
Checking Overdue Status:
is_overdue = complaint.check_overdue()
if is_overdue:
print("Complaint is overdue!")
Manual Escalation:
from apps.complaints.tasks import escalate_complaint_auto
result = escalate_complaint_auto.delay(str(complaint.id))

12. Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Issue: SLA deadline not calculated
- Check:
due_atis null in database - Solution: Complaint should be created with severity and priority
- Verify:
ComplaintSLAConfigexists for hospital/severity/priority
Issue: Overdue not detected
- Check:
check_overdue()method not called - Solution: Ensure
check_overdue_complaintstask is running via Celery Beat - Verify: Current time > complaint.due_at
Issue: Escalation not triggered
- Check: Escalation rule exists and is active
- Solution: Verify severity/priority filters match complaint
- Check:
trigger_hours_overduehas elapsed since overdue
Issue: Reminders not sent
- Check: Email configuration in settings
- Solution: Verify DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL is set
- Check: SMTP server is accessible
- Verify:
send_sla_reminderstask is running
Conclusion
The SLA system is fully implemented and tested. All core functionality is working correctly:
- ✅ SLA Configuration: Flexible per-hospital configuration
- ✅ Deadline Calculation: Automatic and accurate
- ✅ Overdue Detection: Real-time monitoring
- ✅ Escalation: Multi-level with configurable rules
- ✅ Reminders: First and second reminder support
