Classification & Initial Support
A Support Incident can be classified as either a failure in a supported service or configuration item that supports the running of the provided service.
A Service Request, which is not bound by an SLA. Normally a user request for information or advice, or for a standard change. A typical example would be a password reset or a request to upgrade.
OneAdvanced Incident Management workflows are outlined in the OneAdvanced Support Handbook. Should you need to escalate an incident please refer to our Customer Escalation Process.
Resolution & Recovery
OneAdvanced will always endeavour to provide a permanent resolution for your support incident. In the interim, if a suitable workaround is available which allows the customer to resume normal operations without introducing any additional risk, OneAdvanced may seek to apply it as a temporary solution in agreement with the customer.

Clinical Risk Matrix
The below Matrix displays the information used when judging the severity of a clinical risk. This information is used as a standard across all of the OneAdvanced Health and Care product set by our Clinical Safety team with some additions specifically for Docman.

The Clinical Risk rating that is given to the incident following review will help to determine the Minimum Required Actions that need to be taken going forwards. A Clinical Risk Rating between 1 and 4 will lead to a fix being added to the product backlog, a rating of between 5 and 10 will lead to a fix being added to the next release and a fix of 12 or above will lead to a patch being created to fix the issue as soon as possible. The above matrix is based off of DCB- 0129 from NHS Digitals recommendations.
Assured Delivery Statement
Assured Delivery with the Docman Connect Assured Delivery Service, Docman will monitor the service for documents that have not been delivered to GP Practices within the expected timescale of 24 hours (dependent on practice configuration).
In such cases, Docman will contact practices who use a Docman solution to collect documents, to ensure that the documents are collected in a timely manner. The GP Practice will be contacted initially by phone notifying them that there is overdue clinical correspondence waiting to be collected from the Connect Service via their Docman Scheduler. If the phone call is unsuccessful an email that provides the GP Practice with instructions for self- resolution.
If Docman are unable to contact the practice or are unable to gain the appropriate cooperation to resolve the issue, Docman will contact the document provider to notify them of any failed deliveries. The provider can then decide how to manage any undelivered correspondence.
