 - Implement result caching with TTL
 - Add configuration options
 
+## Implementation Approach
+
+To close this issue we will evolve the `@scribemed/health` package rather than sprinkling bespoke logic in every service. The work will land in the following layers:
+
+1. **Configuration primitives** – introduce typed options that can be hydrated from environment variables so every service can tune thresholds, cache TTLs, and timeouts without code changes.
+2. **Execution pipeline** – normalize every health check definition, enforce per-check timeouts, and add short-lived caching to keep expensive checks from overwhelming shared dependencies.
+3. **Observability hooks** – emit structured logs, expose Prometheus metrics, and annotate every response with timing metadata so operators can trace slow or failing checks quickly.
+4. **Resilience patterns** – provide circuit breakers and dependency aggregation helpers (for downstream services) so issues in a single subsystem do not cascade through the platform.
+5. **Graceful degradation** – allow non-critical checks to downgrade overall status to `degraded` instead of `unhealthy`, improving rollout safety in partial outage scenarios.
+
+Each enhancement will ship with targeted tests and documentation updates to keep the health contract stable across the monorepo.
+

 ```
 
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Environment-driven options
+
+Use `createHealthConfigFromEnv` to hydrate handler options from `process.env` so you can tune thresholds without editing code:
+
+```javascript
+const { createHealthConfigFromEnv, createHealthHandler } = require('@scribemed/health');
+
+const healthHandler = createHealthHandler(
+  createHealthConfigFromEnv('my-service', {
+    checks: {
+      database: databaseCheck,
+    },
+    timeouts: { perCheck: { database: 1500 } },
+  })
+);
+```
+
+The helper understands:
+
+- `HEALTH_CHECK_TIMEOUT_MS`
+- `HEALTH_CACHE_TTL_MS`
+- `HEALTH_CACHE_ENABLED`
+- `HEALTH_MEMORY_DEGRADED_PERCENT`
+- `HEALTH_MEMORY_UNHEALTHY_PERCENT`
+
+### Cache and timeout controls
+
+Every handler caches results for a short TTL to avoid hammering shared dependencies. Set `cache.enabled` to `false` to disable, or provide a custom TTL:
+
+```javascript
+const handler = createHealthHandler({
+  serviceName: 'my-service',
+  cache: { ttlMs: 2000 },
+  timeouts: {
+    defaultMs: 1000,
+    perCheck: { database: 2000 },
+  },
+  checks: { database: databaseCheck },
+});
+```
+
+### Circuit breakers for flaky dependencies
+
+Wrap any expensive check with a circuit breaker by providing `impact` and `circuitBreaker` options. The breaker trips after repeated failures, short-circuits calls, then probes dependencies again after a cooldown:
+
+```javascript
+const redisCheck = {
+  run: async () => {
+    const healthy = await redis.ping();
+    return { status: healthy ? 'healthy' : 'unhealthy' };
+  },
+  impact: 'non-critical',
+  circuitBreaker: {
+    failureThreshold: 3,
+    cooldownPeriodMs: 10_000,
+    openStatus: 'degraded',
+  },
+};
+
+const handler = createHealthHandler({
+  serviceName: 'worker',
+  checks: { redis: redisCheck },
+});
+```
+
+### Aggregate downstream services
+
+`createRemoteHealthCheck` lets a gateway expose the health of services it depends on:
+
+```javascript
+const { createRemoteHealthCheck } = require('@scribemed/health');
+
+const handler = createHealthHandler({
+  serviceName: 'api-gateway',
+  checks: {
+    transcription: createRemoteHealthCheck({
+      serviceName: 'transcription',
+      endpoint: 'http://transcription:8082/health',
+      timeoutMs: 1500,
+    }),
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Metrics export
+
+The package keeps lightweight Prometheus-style metrics for every check. Call `getHealthMetricsSnapshot()` and expose the payload via `/metrics` to plug into your monitoring stack.
+
+```javascript
+const { getHealthMetricsSnapshot } = require('@scribemed/health');
+
+app.get('/metrics', (_req, res) => {
+  res.type('text/plain').send(getHealthMetricsSnapshot());
+});
+```
+
+### Critical vs non-critical impact
+
+Set `impact: 'non-critical'` on optional dependencies. Failing non-critical checks mark the overall service as `degraded` instead of `unhealthy`, so rollouts can proceed while auxiliary systems recover.
