# Phase 5: Patient Confirmation Workflow - IN PROGRESS

## Overview
Implementing patient self-service appointment confirmation system with secure token generation, confirmation tracking, and automated reminder management.

## Implementation Date
October 14, 2025

## Status: PARTIALLY COMPLETE (60%)

### ✅ Completed Components

#### 1. AppointmentConfirmation Model
Location: `appointments/models.py`

**Features:**
- Secure token storage (64-character hex)
- Status tracking (PENDING, CONFIRMED, DECLINED, EXPIRED)
- Confirmation method tracking (LINK, SMS, PHONE, IN_PERSON)
- Metadata capture (IP, user agent, timestamps)
- Expiration management
- Reminder tracking (count, last sent)

**Properties:**
- `is_expired` - Check if token expired
- `is_valid` - Check if token still usable
- `get_confirmation_url()` - Generate confirmation URL

#### 2. ConfirmationService
Location: `appointments/confirmation_service.py`

**Key Methods:**

1. **`generate_token()`** - Secure random token generation
2. **`create_confirmation(appointment, expiration_days)`** - Create confirmation token
3. **`get_confirmation_by_token(token)`** - Retrieve by token
4. **`confirm_appointment(confirmation, method, ip, user_agent)`** - Process confirmation
5. **`decline_appointment(confirmation, reason)`** - Process decline/cancellation
6. **`send_confirmation_request(confirmation, request)`** - Send initial request
7. **`send_confirmation_reminder(confirmation, request)`** - Send reminder
8. **`get_pending_confirmations(days_ahead)`** - Get unconfirmed appointments
9. **`expire_old_confirmations()`** - Cleanup expired tokens

**Configuration:**
- Default expiration: 7 days
- Maximum reminders: 3
- Multi-channel delivery (Email + SMS)

### 🔄 Remaining Components

#### 3. Confirmation Views (TODO)
Need to create:
- `confirm_appointment_view(request, token)` - Handle confirmation page
- `decline_appointment_view(request, token)` - Handle decline
- Template for confirmation page

#### 4. URL Routing (TODO)
Need to add to `appointments/urls.py`:
```python
path('confirm/<str:token>/', views.confirm_appointment_view, name='confirm_appointment'),
path('decline/<str:token>/', views.decline_appointment_view, name='decline_appointment'),
```

#### 5. Integration with Booking Flow (TODO)
Need to update `appointments/signals.py`:
- Auto-create confirmation token on appointment booking
- Send confirmation request automatically

#### 6. Celery Tasks (TODO)
Need to create in `appointments/tasks.py`:
- `send_confirmation_reminders()` - Daily task to send reminders
- `expire_old_confirmations()` - Daily cleanup task

## PRD Requirements Addressed

- **Implementation:** Can query AppointmentConfirmation.status

## Technical Details

### Token Generation
```python
# Secure 64-character hexadecimal token
token = secrets.token_hex(32)
# Example: "a1b2c3d4e5f6...64 characters"
```

### Confirmation Flow
```
1. Appointment Booked
         ↓
2. Create Confirmation Token (expires in 7 days)
         ↓
3. Send Confirmation Request (Email + SMS)
         ↓
4. Patient Clicks Link
         ↓
5. Validate Token
         ↓
6. Confirm Appointment
         ↓
7. Update Status to CONFIRMED
```

### Decline Flow
```
1. Patient Clicks Decline Link
         ↓
2. Validate Token
         ↓
3. Mark Confirmation as DECLINED
         ↓
4. Cancel Appointment
         ↓
5. Send Cancellation Confirmation
```

### Reminder Logic
```python
# Send up to 3 reminders
if confirmation.reminder_count < 3:
    send_confirmation_reminder(confirmation)
    confirmation.reminder_count += 1
```

## Database Schema

### AppointmentConfirmation Fields
- `id` (UUID) - Primary key
- `appointment` (FK) - Related appointment
- `token` (CharField, unique) - Confirmation token
- `status` (CharField) - PENDING/CONFIRMED/DECLINED/EXPIRED
- `confirmation_method` (CharField) - How confirmed
- `confirmed_at` (DateTime) - When confirmed
- `confirmed_by_ip` (IP) - IP address
- `confirmed_by_user_agent` (Text) - Browser info
- `expires_at` (DateTime) - Expiration time
- `sent_at` (DateTime) - When request sent
- `reminder_count` (Int) - Number of reminders sent
- `last_reminder_at` (DateTime) - Last reminder time

## Security Features

### Token Security
- 64-character hexadecimal (256-bit entropy)
- Unique constraint in database
- Single-use (marked as used after confirmation)
- Time-limited (7-day expiration)

### Metadata Tracking
- IP address capture
- User agent logging
- Timestamp recording
- Audit trail complete

### Validation
- Token existence check
- Expiration validation
- Status validation
- Appointment status check

## Usage Examples

### Create Confirmation
```python
from appointments.confirmation_service import ConfirmationService

# Create token
confirmation = ConfirmationService.create_confirmation(appointment)

# Send request
ConfirmationService.send_confirmation_request(confirmation, request)
```

### Process Confirmation
```python
# Get by token
confirmation = ConfirmationService.get_confirmation_by_token(token)

# Confirm
success, message = ConfirmationService.confirm_appointment(
    confirmation,
    method='LINK',
    ip_address=request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR'),
    user_agent=request.META.get('HTTP_USER_AGENT')
)
```

### Send Reminder
```python
# Check pending confirmations
pending = ConfirmationService.get_pending_confirmations(days_ahead=3)

for confirmation in pending:
    if confirmation.reminder_count < 3:
        ConfirmationService.send_confirmation_reminder(confirmation)
```

## Next Steps to Complete Phase 5

### 1. Create Confirmation Views
```python
# appointments/views.py
def confirm_appointment_view(request, token):
    confirmation = ConfirmationService.get_confirmation_by_token(token)
    # Handle GET (show page) and POST (process confirmation)
    
def decline_appointment_view(request, token):
    confirmation = ConfirmationService.get_confirmation_by_token(token)
    # Handle decline
```

### 2. Create Templates
- `templates/appointments/confirm_appointment.html`
- Success/error messages
- Mobile-friendly design

### 3. Add URL Routes
```python
# appointments/urls.py
urlpatterns = [
    path('confirm/<str:token>/', views.confirm_appointment_view, name='confirm_appointment'),
    path('decline/<str:token>/', views.decline_appointment_view, name='decline_appointment'),
]
```

### 4. Integrate with Booking
```python
# appointments/signals.py - in appointment_post_save
if created and instance.status == 'BOOKED':
    # Create confirmation
    confirmation = ConfirmationService.create_confirmation(instance)
    # Send request
    ConfirmationService.send_confirmation_request(confirmation)
```

### 5. Add Celery Tasks
```python
# appointments/tasks.py
@shared_task
def send_pending_confirmation_reminders():
    """Send reminders for unconfirmed appointments"""
    pending = ConfirmationService.get_pending_confirmations(days_ahead=3)
    for confirmation in pending:
        if confirmation.reminder_count < 3:
            ConfirmationService.send_confirmation_reminder(confirmation)

@shared_task
def expire_old_confirmation_tokens():
    """Mark expired tokens as EXPIRED"""
    ConfirmationService.expire_old_confirmations()
```

### 6. Configure Celery Beat
```python
CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULE = {
    'send-confirmation-reminders': {
        'task': 'appointments.tasks.send_pending_confirmation_reminders',
        'schedule': crontab(hour=9, minute=0),  # Daily at 9 AM
    },
    'expire-confirmation-tokens': {
        'task': 'appointments.tasks.expire_old_confirmation_tokens',
        'schedule': crontab(hour=0, minute=0),  # Daily at midnight
    },
}
```

## Files Created

1. `appointments/models.py` - Added AppointmentConfirmation model
2. `appointments/confirmation_service.py` - Complete confirmation service

## Files To Create

1. `templates/appointments/confirm_appointment.html` - Confirmation page
2. Views in `appointments/views.py` - Confirmation handlers
3. Routes in `appointments/urls.py` - URL patterns
4. Tasks in `appointments/tasks.py` - Celery tasks

## Testing Recommendations

### Unit Tests
```python
def test_token_generation():
    """Test secure token generation"""
    token = ConfirmationService.generate_token()
    assert len(token) == 64
    assert token.isalnum()

def test_create_confirmation():
    """Test confirmation creation"""
    confirmation = ConfirmationService.create_confirmation(appointment)
    assert confirmation.status == 'PENDING'
    assert confirmation.is_valid

def test_confirm_appointment():
    """Test appointment confirmation"""
    success, message = ConfirmationService.confirm_appointment(confirmation)
    assert success
    assert confirmation.status == 'CONFIRMED'
    assert appointment.status == 'CONFIRMED'

def test_expired_token():
    """Test expired token handling"""
    # Set expiration in past
    confirmation.expires_at = timezone.now() - timedelta(days=1)
    success, message = ConfirmationService.confirm_appointment(confirmation)
    assert not success
    assert "expired" in message.lower()
```
