Choose the right medical AI workflow
Do not start by asking which AI tool is best. Start by choosing the workflow, then evaluate risk, privacy, evidence, and who reviews the output.
Rule of thumb: Administrative and documentation AI are usually better first pilots than diagnosis, triage, imaging interpretation, or treatment support.
Pick your use case
I want answers to medical questions or literature support.
Use source-visible research and question-answering tools. Verify citations.

Before any pilot
- Write the exact workflow and what the AI is not allowed to do.
- Confirm whether protected health information is processed and whether a BAA is needed.
- Ask for evidence that matches your specialty, patient population, and deployment setting.
- Define who reviews outputs, signs final notes, submits claims, or makes clinical decisions.
- Set a stop rule for unsafe answers, privacy issues, high correction burden, or workflow failure.
