Working output: Statement delivery register. Include the source reference, current status, and next owner when an item remains open.
Use the agreed template or checklist to carry out this task. Record what was checked and the date of the action so another team member can understand the current position.
Working output: Patient billing inquiry queue. Include the source reference, current status, and next owner when an item remains open.
Keep this work connected to the wider queue. Note dependencies and unanswered questions, and use the agreed escalation route when the next step requires a decision.
Working output: Account-exception summary. Include the source reference, current status, and next owner when an item remains open.
Complete the task only when its agreed checks have passed. If an input is missing or an approval is pending, keep that status visible rather than treating the item as finished.
