Put the day’s exceptions in one brief.

CONTROLControlled PHI access
THE JOB

The team begins the day with the same priorities, risks, and owners.

Compiles the schedule, confirmations, gaps, prerequisites, balances, and unresolved work into a short daily operating brief.

AGENT ANATOMY

What it sees, decides, and does.

01 / TRIGGER

A scheduled time before the daily huddle.

02 / CONTEXT
  • Today’s schedule
  • Confirmation and intake status
  • Open operational tasks
  • Practice-approved huddle fields
03 / DECISION
  • Which exceptions meet the huddle rules
  • Priority order
  • Responsible team or queue
  • Which items require a private view
04 / ACTION
  • Generate a concise huddle brief
  • Link each item to its source
  • Create missing-owner alerts
  • Archive the daily snapshot
HUMAN CONTROL

The agent knows when to stop.

These boundaries belong in the scope, tests, permissions, and operating log. They are not a disclaimer added after the build.

HUMAN GATE

A person reviews

  • Clinical interpretation
  • Changes to treatment or appointment length
  • Sensitive issues inappropriate for a shared huddle
  • Any action beyond reporting and routing
EXCEPTION

The agent escalates

  • Source system unavailable
  • Conflicting schedule data
  • Missing owner
  • Item contains information outside the approved huddle scope
NEVER AUTONOMOUS

Outside the agent’s authority

  • Make a clinical recommendation
  • Expose more PHI than the team needs
  • Change the schedule
  • Present inferred information as fact
DEFINED OUTCOME

Measure the job, not the novelty.

AGENT OR PERSON?

The workflow may still need a virtual assistant.

AGENT

Use for the predictable path.

Monitoring, structured checks, approved messages, routing, logging, and repeated follow-up.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

Use for context and conversation.

Ambiguous responses, relationship work, judgment, persuasion, and exceptions that change from case to case.

HYBRID

Let the agent build the queue.

The agent handles the predictable path. A trained person receives a clean exception list with the context needed to finish the work.

EVIDENCE

Why this workflow matters.

Sources support the operating need and safety boundary. They do not prove that every practice should build this agent.
