Human Factors
Upon arrival; a wheel chair was brought plane side for a passenger. It was noted that the wheelchair had an integrated lithium ion battery. No notification was given; and no paperwork was received by us. Arrival station agent believed it to be a manual wheelchair. Departure from ZZZ was time compressed due to an issue with aircraft cleaners and the resulting delay. It would seem that the paperwork was overlooked in part due to the pressures applied to the agents and ramp personnel to secure a departure ASAP.
B737 Captain reported; at gate block-in; a Lithium Ion battery powered wheelchair had been transported in cargo with no required Hazmat documentation provided prior to departure.
