# APPOINTMENTS APP - TEMPLATE REVIEW DECISIONS

**Review Date:** January 8, 2025  
**Reviewer:** Cline AI Assistant  
**Purpose:** Determine fate of potentially unused templates

---

## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Reviewed 11 templates to determine if they should be:
- **KEEP & CREATE VIEW** - Template is comprehensive and useful
- **KEEP & LINK** - Template exists, view exists, just needs URL connection
- **DELETE** - Functionality duplicated elsewhere

---

## DETAILED DECISIONS

### 1. appointments/no_show_appointment.html ✅ KEEP & CREATE VIEW

**Status:** Comprehensive template, NO view exists

**Template Quality:** EXCELLENT
- 300+ lines of well-structured HTML
- Complete no-show documentation form
- Policy guidelines included
- Contact attempt tracking
- No-show fee calculation
- Patient impact documentation

**Decision:** **CREATE VIEW**

**Recommended View:**
```python
@login_required
@permission_required('appointments.change_appointmentrequest')
def no_show_appointment(request, pk):
    """Mark appointment as no-show with documentation."""
    tenant = request.user.tenant
    appointment = get_object_or_404(
        AppointmentRequest,
        pk=pk,
        tenant=tenant
    )
    
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Process no-show form
        appointment.status = 'NO_SHOW'
        appointment.no_show_time = timezone.now()
        appointment.no_show_documented_by = request.user
        appointment.no_show_notes = request.POST.get('no_show_notes', '')
        appointment.no_show_fee = request.POST.get('no_show_fee', 25.00)
        appointment.save()
        
        messages.success(request, 'Appointment marked as no-show.')
        return redirect('appointments:appointment_detail', pk=pk)
    
    return render(request, 'appointments/no_show_appointment.html', {
        'appointment': appointment
    })
```

**URL Pattern:**
```python
path('<int:pk>/no-show/', views.no_show_appointment, name='no_show_appointment'),
```

---

### 2. appointments/check_in_patient.html ✅ KEEP & LINK

**Status:** Template exists, Views exist (`check_in_patient` and `check_in_appointment`)

**Template Quality:** EXCELLENT
- Comprehensive check-in form
- Verification checklist
- Insurance validation
- Special needs tracking
- Patient alerts display

**Decision:** **LINK EXISTING VIEW TO TEMPLATE**

**Action Required:**
1. Verify which view (`check_in_patient` or `check_in_appointment`) should use this template
2. Update the view to render `'appointments/check_in_patient.html'`
3. Ensure URL pattern exists

**Recommended URL:**
```python
path('<int:pk>/check-in/', views.check_in_appointment, name='check_in_appointment'),
```

---

### 3. appointments/confirm_appointment.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Need to read template first

**Action:** Read template to determine if:
- Functionality duplicated by status change
- Or needs dedicated confirmation workflow

**Next Step:** Read template content

---

### 4. appointments/partials/provider_schedule.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Partial template - check if functionality exists elsewhere

**Likely Decision:** DELETE if `partials/provider_availability.html` covers this

**Action:** Compare with existing provider-related partials

---

### 5. appointments/slots/slot_availability.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Slot management template

**Context:** 
- `SlotAvailabilityListView` exists
- Uses `appointments/slots/slot_list.html`

**Likely Decision:** DELETE - functionality covered by slot_list.html

---

### 6. appointments/slots/slot_booking.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Slot booking template

**Context:**
- Booking likely handled through appointment creation
- May be redundant

**Likely Decision:** DELETE - booking done via AppointmentRequestForm

---

### 7. appointments/slots/slot_calendar.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Calendar view for slots

**Context:**
- `scheduling_calendar.html` exists
- May be duplicate functionality

**Likely Decision:** DELETE if scheduling_calendar covers this

---

### 8. appointments/slots/slot_management.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Slot management interface

**Context:**
- Slot CRUD operations exist via standard views
- May be administrative dashboard

**Decision:** Need to read template to determine purpose

---

### 9. appointments/appointment_stats.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Full-page stats view

**Context:**
- `partials/appointment_stats.html` exists for HTMX
- May be for standalone stats page

**Likely Decision:** KEEP if provides comprehensive dashboard, DELETE if redundant

---

### 10. appointments/scheduling/conflicts.html ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW

**Status:** Conflicts display

**Context:**
- `partials/conflicts.html` exists
- May be for full-page conflict resolution

**Likely Decision:** DELETE - partial version sufficient

---

### 11. appointments/queue/queue_entry_confirm_delete.html ✅ CREATE VIEW

**Status:** Delete confirmation template exists, NO delete view

**Template Quality:** Standard Django delete confirmation

**Decision:** **CREATE DELETE VIEW**

**Recommended View:**
```python
class QueueEntryDeleteView(LoginRequiredMixin, PermissionRequiredMixin, DeleteView):
    model = QueueEntry
    template_name = 'appointments/queue/queue_entry_confirm_delete.html'
    permission_required = 'appointments.delete_queueentry'
    success_url = reverse_lazy('appointments:queue_entry_list')
    
    def get_queryset(self):
        return QueueEntry.objects.filter(queue__tenant=self.request.user.tenant)
```

**URL Pattern:**
```python
path('queue/entry/<int:pk>/delete/', views.QueueEntryDeleteView.as_view(), name='queue_entry_delete'),
```
