Missed documentation notification to clinical staff

Purpose

1.1 Ensure all clinical staff are promptly notified of any missing or incomplete documentation related to patient care within alcohol addiction recovery settings, maintaining regulatory compliance and avoiding legal, accreditation, or reimbursement risks.
1.2 Promote transparency and accountability in clinical workflows by automating detection and alerts for gaps in patient records, progress notes, or treatment updates.
1.3 Speed up remediation of compliance deficiencies by delivering targeted notifications, allowing staff to address specific charting and documentation lags.
1.4 Reduce administrative burden by eliminating manual monitoring, lowering error rates, and enabling staff to focus on patient engagement rather than paperwork tracking.

2.2 Trigger on scheduled intervals (e.g., end-of-shift or daily review) when documentation required by state or federal regulations is incomplete.
2.3 Trigger when automated checklist or compliance tool flags an assigned clinical staff as non-compliant based on documentation status.
