About This Automation
Funding package balance monitoring tracks resident funding levels across multiple government systems to prevent care interruptions. Manual monitoring is slow, error-prone, and often discovers shortfalls too late to act.
Automated balance monitoring compares resident funding against projected care costs daily, flags at-risk residents automatically, and routes alerts to the right team member. Care continues uninterrupted because shortfalls are caught weeks in advance.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Automation runs on a daily schedule to pull the latest funding balances from integrated funding systems and care cost forecasts.
The automation connects to funding body APIs or data feeds to retrieve current balance for each resident in real time.
Pull projected care costs for the next 8 weeks or to calculate the runway for each resident.
The automation compares each resident's balance against care costs, identifies shortfalls, and calculates days until funding runs out.
Write updated balances, shortfall flags, and runway calculations back for the finance team to review.
Post a summary alert to a designated channel listing all residents with balances below the safe threshold, sorted by urgency.
Create a record documenting the alert, timestamp, and residents flagged so the team can track follow-up actions.
