1. Pick one workflow with a clear owner
Documentation, scheduling, intake, or reconciliation — choose a path with measurable friction and a person who will own quality after launch.
2. Confirm data access and privacy constraints
Healthcare AI fails when demos use clean samples. Production needs permissions, retention, and auditability. Design the data path before model spend escalates.
3. Evaluate, then release with controls
Define acceptance cases and failure policy. Keep human review where judgment matters. Deploy with monitoring and a pause switch. Document handover so the care or ops team can run the system.
