Open Open question: is the Digital Forms / form builder experience scoped to tablet only, or does it also cover the web portal and mobile app? Digital Forms / ux "4.2 Tablet App"

? The team has flagged an unresolved question about the intended delivery surfaces for the form builder and e-signature capture. John Ervin Ceriola noted that e-signature lends itself to the tablet surface; Elvina indicated that clarification is needed from Harry on whether the form builder is tablet-only or also covers the web portal and patient mobile app. This needs to be resolved before the tablet design can be finalised ahead of the April pilot.

Rationale: Elvina stated: 'I need clarification — if some mobile, but if some web app or some… I need clarification.' John noted: 'I like the tablet, especially my signature, mostly.' The surface scope for the form builder is treated as undecided in the meeting and is not explicitly resolved in the existing spec beyond the three surfaces already defined (web portal §5.1, Surgery Tablet §5.2, patient mobile app §5.3).

Parked in spec Confirm whether aftercare template builder requires a dedicated drag-and-drop design view or can reuse the existing forms component library Digital Forms / ux "4. Primary Surfaces"

? The team discussed whether the aftercare template builder should have a bespoke drag-and-drop layout design or whether it can reuse existing block/component library elements from the forms surface. Harry confirmed templates should be clonable and editable, but the design approach (full drag-and-drop builder vs component reuse) was not formally resolved. Needs confirmation before Elvina begins detailed aftercare template design.

Rationale: Elvina asked: 'I just need to clarify if the one I'll create will be in just in view form or do I need to create this… this drag and drop feature.' Harry's response indicated component reuse is acceptable for MVP but left the exact design pattern open.

Resolved Confirm whether aftercare content blocks must support rich media (video and images) at MVP or only in a later iteration Digital Forms / technical "1. Module Purpose & Scope (Authoritative)"

? Harry stated that aftercare content 'could be anything — a video, pictures' and that 'the more rich we can make that, the better', with a preference to 'just do it now'. However, it was not formally confirmed whether video and image block support is in scope for the MVP aftercare template or deferred. This has implications for the content block schema and Document Hub storage requirements.

Rationale: Harry Leak: 'Aftercare could be a video, it could be pictures… if a patient on their phone wants to visually see what to do and there's a nice explainer video, that'll be better.' Elvina agreed but the MVP/post-MVP boundary was not explicitly drawn.

Resolved: Yes this should be inlcuded in the design and optional in aftercare templates if chosen

Resolved Confirm whether the tablet day view segments (morning / midday / evening) are removed in favour of a flat time-ordered day view with prev/next day navigation in the header Task Manager / ux

? The tablet day view was discussed as a strict, flat day view — no morning/midday/evening time-segment controls. Today's date should appear prominently in the header (e.g. 'Wednesday 16 April') with prev/next day navigation buttons on either side, allowing nurses and managers to look ahead to the following day's work. Should the existing segment-based design be replaced entirely, or retained as an optional toggle?

Rationale: Harry stated: 'maybe just keep this as strictly like a day view… and then you can flick between checklists and the work package details' and 'it should say today's date… they have a button either side to flick between the two days, so maybe just put that in the header.'

Resolved: yes it it should be strictly a day view with flick beyween

Resolved Open question: standardised left-hand navigation structure for Task Manager in the web portal needs to be agreed before design is finalised Task Manager / ux "13. Open Questions"

? The left-hand navigation structure for the Task Manager module in the web portal has not been standardised. The meeting identified inconsistency across prototype screens (e.g. 'Task categories', 'Governance dashboard', 'My Task Overview', 'List view', 'Kanban view', 'Calendar', 'SLA', 'Templates'). A definitive navigation map — identifying which items are top-level menu entries versus sub-menu entries under 'Tasks', and which items are deferred to a later phase — must be agreed between Harry and Elvina before UX design is finalised.

Rationale: Elvina: 'what is our final left navigation or is it per user type?' Harry acknowledged the inconsistency was due to AI prototype artefacts and agreed it needed to be resolved. Neither party agreed a final structure during this session.

Resolved: what is your recommendation

Resolved Clarify whether the 1-hour mute capability is stored as a first-class object or as a user-preference field on the session Communication Hub / technical "3. Core Objects (Normative)"

? Should the 1-hour notification snooze be modelled as a first-class `NotificationMute` artefact (with `UserId`, `ExpiresAt`, `CreatedAt`, `AuditTrail`) to satisfy the audit-logging requirement, or is it sufficient to store it as a transient field on the user session? The audit requirement (mute activation and expiry must be logged) suggests a persistent record is needed.

Rationale: The meeting decided mutes must be audit-logged (Harry specified this) but the data model for doing so was not discussed.

Resolved: Whatever you advise here.
