Description
Check a recorded referral acknowledgment against a supplied response window.
Support records distinguish a person's stated preferences from eligibility decisions, service delivery and permission to disclose data. A normalized goal weight describes a declared weighting system, while a voucher or referral time margin describes supplied bookkeeping. Labels and display masks do not establish safety, valid consent, appropriate priority or actual entitlement.
Check a recorded referral acknowledgment against a supplied response window.
When to use this tool
Use Referral Acknowledgment Within Window Flag when you already have referralSeconds, acknowledgmentSeconds, suppliedWindowSeconds and need to check a recorded referral acknowledgment against a supplied response window.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter referralSeconds, acknowledgmentSeconds, suppliedWindowSeconds. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read responseDelaySeconds, withinSuppliedWindow. Inspect withinSuppliedWindow before interpreting the associated values.
Require suppliedWindowSeconds>=0; return acknowledgment-referral and flag 0<=delay<=window, including both boundaries.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| referralSeconds | Referral Seconds | Required. Finite number. |
| acknowledgmentSeconds | Acknowledgment Seconds | Required. Finite number. |
| suppliedWindowSeconds | Supplied Window Seconds | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| responseDelaySeconds | Response Delay Seconds | Required. Finite number. |
| withinSuppliedWindow | True only for delay in [0,suppliedWindowSeconds], including both ends. | Required. Boolean. |
{
"input": {
"referralSeconds": 100,
"acknowledgmentSeconds": 130,
"suppliedWindowSeconds": 60
},
"output": {
"responseDelaySeconds": 30,
"withinSuppliedWindow": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- A negative delay is returned but fails the flag; no referral delivery, actual service or legally required response time is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the person's recorded preferences, governing service criteria and actual referral or voucher records. For disclosure, apply the relevant access controls to the underlying data rather than treating a display mask or recorded permission flag as the whole process.
