Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Set rehabilitation goals from intake

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to organize intake notes, test results, medical background, and your observations into a draft goal list for the rehabilitation plan. It can help you compare current function with likely next steps so you can shape goals that are practical and easy for the team to follow.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether the goals are realistic, safe, and worth pursuing, and you adjust them with the rehabilitation team before the plan is used.

Review level: High

2

Recommend home and workplace changes

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to turn your observations, home or work notes, and patient limitations into a short list of environment changes to consider. It can draft practical suggestions for tools, layout, or routines so you have a clear handout or team note to discuss with the patient and caregivers.

Where you stay involved

You decide which changes fit the person’s needs, and you refer structural or safety-critical items to the right licensed professional.

Review level: Medium

3

Plan skill-building sessions and adjust tasks

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to build a session plan from the skills you want to target, then capture brief notes on how the patient handled each activity. It can help you organize work, school, or daily-living tasks and suggest the next step if the current activity was too easy or too hard.

Where you stay involved

You choose the activities, watch how the patient responds, and decide when to keep going, simplify, or hand concerns to the licensed therapist.

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.
