Doctor Consolidated Reports

Doctors generate many individual bills across a day. Reviewing each one separately is slow, so the Workflow Engine provides a consolidated view that gathers a doctor's bills for a period into a single reviewable record, and a self/all reviewer model that controls who may sign them off.

What Gets Consolidated​

For each doctor, the engine builds a day review that rolls up the day's bills with their key clinical and financial context — patient identity (name, UHID, mobile), medicines, suggested and follow-up investigations, working diagnosis, bill totals, item and payment details. These are presented together so a reviewer sees the whole day at once rather than bill-by-bill.

Consolidated records flow through the workflow as a queue with the usual current step / role / history, and each review action (approve, send back, return to sender) is captured as an action event with the reviewer, role, timestamps and comment.

Reviewer Approval: Self vs. All​

Who may approve a doctor's consolidated report is controlled by the review action roles on the definition:

  • A reviewer whose role can approve any doctor's report (for example a role such as approve any consolidated) acts as an all-doctor reviewer.
  • A doctor reviewing their own consolidated report acts in a self-review capacity.

The definition's reviewActionRoles list names the roles entitled to take review actions on the consolidated workflow, which is how the "self vs. all" reviewer distinction is enforced.

Reports and History​

Each consolidated record keeps a versioned review history: which bills were reviewed, by whom, and when. Action events are indexed by reviewer role and time so consolidated reporting on doctor approvals can be produced for any period.

tip

Because the consolidation is per doctor per day, a reviewer can clear an entire day's billing for a doctor in a single approval instead of opening each bill, while the audit trail still records every underlying bill that was covered.
