It warns when the work has to start, not when the credential dies
A spreadsheet of expiry dates tells you when something lapses. By then it is too late: a license renewal needs continuing education (CME) paperwork, a Medicare revalidation needs months.
So every kind of credential carries its own lead time, and the work queue is ordered by the day work must start. Dr. Hale's DEA registration runs out in 12 days and nobody has started it. Dr. Okafor's Medicare revalidation is 95 days away, and it is already overdue for action, because Medicare needs a 120 day head start.
A bar stays at the top of every screen so you can come straight back to this step.
