Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Prepare specialist referrals

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to gather the relevant office notes, test results, medication list, and a short reason for referral into a specialist referral draft. It can suggest a complete referral packet and a patient-friendly message with next steps so you can decide where the patient should go and how urgent it is.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether a referral is needed, choose the right specialist, review the packet for accuracy, and explain the plan to the patient.

Review level: High

2

Check charts and fix follow-up records

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to scan a chart for missing history, incomplete results, conflicting medication lists, and unfinished follow-up items. It can draft a cleanup list, update reminders, and organize any reporting fields so you can review the record before it is closed or sent onward.

Where you stay involved

You check whether the chart is accurate, decide what needs correction, and handle anything that could affect safety or reporting before the record is finalized.

Review level: Low

3

Coordinate care for complex patients

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to gather notes from nurses, therapists, pharmacists, social workers, and other clinicians into one working care summary for a complex patient. It can list pending orders, upcoming referrals, and follow-up tasks so you can decide who needs to do what next and what should be discussed in the team plan.

Where you stay involved

You review the summary, make the care decisions that belong with you, assign or confirm next steps, and bring in specialists when the case needs them.

Review level: Medium

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
