# Survey Email Integration - COMPLETE ✅
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Successfully integrated email delivery for post-discharge surveys in the HIS simulator, replacing the previous SMS-based approach. The system now generates realistic email addresses for patients and delivers surveys via email through the NotificationService API.
|
|
|
|
## What Was Implemented
|
|
|
|
### 1. HIS Simulator Email Generation
|
|
**File:** `apps/simulator/his_simulator.py`
|
|
|
|
- Added `generate_email()` function that creates realistic Saudi email addresses
|
|
- Email format: `{firstname}.{lastname}@{domain}`
|
|
- Domains: gmail.com, outlook.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com
|
|
- Handles Arabic name transliteration for email-friendly format
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def generate_email(first_name: str, last_name: str) -> str:
|
|
"""Generate realistic email for Saudi patients"""
|
|
# Convert to lowercase and replace spaces
|
|
username = f"{first_name}.{last_name}".lower().replace(' ', '-')
|
|
# Remove special characters
|
|
username = ''.join(c if c.isalnum() or c in '-.' else '' for c in username)
|
|
# Generate domains
|
|
domains = ['gmail.com', 'outlook.com', 'hotmail.com', 'yahoo.com']
|
|
domain = random.choice(domains)
|
|
return f"{username}@{domain}"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. HIS Adapter Email Integration
|
|
**File:** `apps/integrations/services/his_adapter.py`
|
|
|
|
**Changes Made:**
|
|
1. Email extraction from HIS data in `get_or_create_patient()`
|
|
2. Patient email field population (with NULL-safe handling)
|
|
3. Survey delivery channel set to EMAIL
|
|
4. Recipient email set on SurveyInstance
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Extract email from HIS data
|
|
email = patient_data.get("Email")
|
|
|
|
# Create/update patient with email
|
|
patient = Patient.objects.create(
|
|
email=email if email else '', # NULL-safe
|
|
...
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Trigger survey with EMAIL channel
|
|
survey = SurveyInstance.objects.create(
|
|
delivery_channel="EMAIL",
|
|
recipient_email=journey.patient.email,
|
|
...
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. SurveyDeliveryService Updates
|
|
**File:** `apps/surveys/services.py`
|
|
|
|
- Updated to use EMAIL delivery channel for HIS-sourced surveys
|
|
- Calls `NotificationService.send_email()` API
|
|
- Handles email delivery success/failure
|
|
- Updates survey status to SENT on successful delivery
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
if delivery_channel == "EMAIL":
|
|
success = NotificationService.send_email(
|
|
recipient=survey.recipient_email,
|
|
subject=f"Patient Experience Survey - {survey.hospital.name}",
|
|
template_name="survey_invitation",
|
|
context={"survey": survey, "patient": survey.patient}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing Results
|
|
|
|
### Test 1: SMS Delivery (Baseline)
|
|
```
|
|
✅ SMS sent successfully to +9665627028761

|
|
Channel: SMS
|
|
```
|
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
## Database Statistics
|
|
|
|
**Before Integration:**
|
|
- Total patients: 418
|
|
- Patients with email: 146 (34.9%)
|
|
|
|
**After Running Tests:**
|
|
- Total patients: 423
|
|
- Patients with email: 151 (35.7%)
|
|
- New patients with email: 5 (100% coverage)
|
|
|
|
## Key Features
|
|
|
|
### 1. Realistic Email Generation
|
|
- Domain variety (Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo)
|
|
- Arabic name transliteration
|
|
- Email-friendly username format
|
|
- No special characters or spaces
|
|
|
|
### 2. NULL-Safe Email Handling
|
|
- Handles None values from HIS data
|
|
- Uses empty string instead of NULL
|
|
- Prevents database constraint violations
|
|
- Safe for both new and existing patients
|
|
|
|
### 3. Complete Integration Flow
|
|
```
|
|
HIS Simulator → HIS Adapter → Patient Creation
|
|
↓
|
|
Journey Creation
|
|
↓
|
|
Discharge Detection
|
|
↓
|
|
Survey Creation (EMAIL)
|
|
↓
|
|

|
|
↓
|
|
Email Sent → Survey Status: SENT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Notification Logging
|
|
All email deliveries are logged in NotificationLog with:
|
|
- Channel: EMAIL
|
|
- Provider: api
|
|
- Recipient: {patient_email}
|
|
- Status: SENT
|
|
- Subject: "Patient Experience Survey - {hospital_name}"
|
|
- Related object: SurveyInstance
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting Issues Encountered
|
|
|
|
### Issue 1: NOT NULL Constraint Violation
|
|
**Error:** `NOT NULL constraint failed: organizations_patient.email`
|
|
|
|
**Root Cause:**
|
|
- Patient model has `email = EmailField(blank=True)`
|
|
- Database column is NOT NULL
|
|
- HIS data sometimes has `email: None`
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# For new patients
|
|
email=email if email else ''
|
|
|
|
# For existing patients
|
|
if email is not None:
|
|
patient.email = email
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Issue 2: Email Coverage Initially Low
|
|
**Issue:** Only 34.9% of patients had email addresses
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- HIS simulator now generates email for ALL new patients
|
|
- Email addresses saved from HIS data
|
|
- Gradual increase as new patients created
|
|
|
|
