What happens if a critical result is not acknowledged?
In the pilot (v0.2.0, synthetic data)
Short answer
How would it be tested? The specification says simulated no-ack escalates. That is the check for REQ-4206: Critical lab/imaging/blood alerts must reach the responsible clinician with acknowledgment tracking and escalation to an alternate if not acknowledged within the configured time (still an open decision). The pilot covers part of this. The rest is designed, not built. Where the code stands: Critical result alert with ack + escalation works; 422 no_recipients if patient has no care assignment. Parts of it are explicitly marked as open in the specification.
This exists in the synthetic-data pilot only.
