4. Retrieve Medication Schedule
Fetches the prescribed medication list and dosage instructions from the patient's clinical data model.
5. Calculate Pain Score Trend
Executes a formula to compare the current pain scale entry against the previous entry to determine if pain is increasing or decreasing.
6. Calculate Average Daily Temperature
Aggregates all temperature entries from the last 24 hours to find the average to detect fever trends.
7. Wound Care Inspection
Creates a task for the surgical team to inspect the incision site for signs of infection.
8. Notify Surgeon of Abnormal Vitals
Sends an urgent email to the attending surgeon if vital signs fall outside of the predefined safe range.
9. Patient/Guardian Update

13. Mark Recovery Phase as Complete
Updates the status of the Patient Recovery entry to 'Discharged' once all post-op tasks are finished.
