  2. 2

    Create exercise and nutrition plans

    Use an agent to turn a patient’s current habits, exercise tolerance, and nutrition notes into a practical home plan with reminders and a follow-up checklist.

  3. 3

    Coordinate referrals with other clinicians

    Use an agent to prepare a referral handoff packet from the patient’s history, key findings, and reason for referral, then draft a follow-up note reminding you what to confirm after the other clinician responds.

Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Review new patient intake details

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to organize a new patient’s intake notes, symptom history, identifying details, and outside records into a single review sheet. The agent can point out missing information, repeated complaints, and places where older records do not match the current story so you can prepare for the visit.

Where you stay involved

You review the summary, decide what matters clinically, and determine whether the patient needs referral or a different level of care. You still interview the patient and make the treatment judgment.

Review level: High

2

Create exercise and nutrition plans

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to turn a patient’s current habits, exercise tolerance, and nutrition notes into a practical home plan with reminders and a follow-up checklist. The agent can draft simple language for therapeutic exercise and nutrition guidance and keep track of what you want to review at the next visit.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether the plan is appropriate, review how the patient is doing, and change the advice if their symptoms or tolerance shift. You still give the health guidance and judge when the plan should stop or change.

Review level: Medium

3

Coordinate referrals with other clinicians

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to prepare a referral handoff packet from the patient’s history, key findings, and reason for referral, then draft a follow-up note reminding you what to confirm after the other clinician responds. The agent can also help you keep the handoff details organized in the chart.

Where you stay involved

You decide when the case should be referred, review the summary before it goes out, and follow up on the response. You still speak with the other professional and handle any urgent change in the patient’s condition.

Review level: High

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.
