# 12. Messaging & On-Site Emergencies
|
|
|
|
[← Business Requirements](index.md)
|
|
|
|
## (a) Business requirements
|
|
- **There is no live chat and no direct nurse↔customer messaging.** All post-booking communication runs through a structured **ticket** system that admin can read in full. This is a deliberate **anti-disintermediation** and **patient-safety** design: it protects vulnerable patients, creates a dispute paper trail, and prevents families and nurses pairing off-platform.
|
|
- A **booking-scoped coordination ticket** is auto-created so the nurse and customer can coordinate logistics (arrival time, room location) under admin visibility. Internal admin-only notes are supported and never shown to users.
|
|
- Tickets also carry refund conversations and any support request, and are the mandatory anchor for admin refunds (Section 7).
|
|
- **On-site emergency playbook.** The ticket system is async and has no real-time channel, so the operational playbook is explicit: **in an emergency (no answer at the door, a medical emergency), the nurse calls the emergency-contact number surfaced in the app, then opens a ticket.** The emergency contact number is surfaced prominently in the booking UI (drawn from encrypted care instructions), so a nurse never needs to find the family's number by other means (which would break the platform's communication control).
|
|
|
|
## (b) Iran-specific considerations
|
|
- Disintermediation is the predictable failure mode of recurring, relationship-based care; the ticket-only model retains value (escrow, dispute protection, backup coverage, insurance that only applies on-platform) instead of relying on punitive lock-in.
|
|
- For unobserved in-home care of patients who cannot self-report, the controlled-but-auditable communication channel plus a clear emergency escalation path is a safety requirement.
|
|
|
|
## (c) MVP vs DEFERRED
|
|
- **MVP:** ticket-only messaging (admin-readable); auto-created booking-coordination ticket; internal notes; prominent in-app emergency contact + documented playbook.
|
|
- **DEFERRED:** real-time chat; a first-class `incidents`/emergency-event entity with SLA; push/real-time alerting.
|
|
|
|
## (d) Supporting database entities
|
|
`tickets`, `ticket_participants`, `ticket_messages`, `booking_care_instructions` (encrypted emergency contact), `support_alerts`.
