2–4 Week Controlled Pilot for a Physician-Controlled Clinical Assistance System
Version 0.1
March 2026
1. Purpose of the Pilot
This pilot is designed to test whether AI& can safely and practically support physicians in selected non-autonomous clinical assistance tasks.
The pilot does not aim to prove that AI can replace physicians.
The pilot aims to answer a simpler and more useful question:
Can AI& reduce documentation and communication friction while keeping physicians fully in control?
The pilot has four primary objectives:
Evaluate whether AI& reduces time spent on repetitive documentation and communication drafting.
Evaluate whether AI& improves consistency, clarity, and structure of outputs.
Evaluate whether AI& can operate without introducing unacceptable risk, misleading outputs, privacy concerns, or workflow disruption.
Evaluate whether participating physicians find AI& useful, acceptable, and worth continuing after the pilot.
Recommended duration:
minimum: 2 weeks
ideal: 3 to 4 weeks
This duration is long enough to observe patterns, but short enough to remain controlled and easy to review.
The pilot must remain narrow and highly controlled.
Choose only 1 to 2 use cases for the pilot.
Preferred options:
SOAP note draft generation
Structured visit summary drafting
Patient education draft generation
Follow-up reminder drafting
The pilot must not include:
autonomous diagnosis
autonomous triage
medication recommendation
emergency guidance
Recommended:
1 primary physician
optional: 1 to 3 additional physicians after initial validation
May include:
project coordinator
technical support person
compliance or quality reviewer
note-taker for feedback sessions
Patients are not system operators in this pilot.
If patient-linked data is involved, all handling must follow the defined data governance rules.
The pilot may begin only if the following conditions are met:
One or two pilot tasks are selected clearly.
All participants understand:
when AI& may be used
who reviews outputs
what happens if outputs are poor
what is logged
All participants agree that:
physicians remain the final decision-makers
no AI output is final without physician review
no autonomous patient communication is allowed
At least basic templates exist for the selected use cases.
The team can record:
AI usage events
review outcomes
corrections
incidents
A participating physician identifies a case appropriate for pilot use.
Examples:
routine documentation case
follow-up case
patient education need
non-emergency outpatient interaction
The physician provides structured input into AI&.
Possible inputs:
chief complaint
relevant history
findings
assessment points
AI& generates a draft according to the selected workflow.
Examples:
SOAP note draft
education message draft
follow-up summary draft
The physician must review the draft before any use.
The physician may:
approve
edit
reject
regenerate
Only physician-approved output may be used in real workflow.
The system or team records:
type of task
time used
degree of correction needed
whether output was useful
The pilot should begin with cases that are relatively stable and low-risk.
routine follow-up visits
straightforward documentation tasks
patient education messages for familiar conditions
structured note conversion tasks
emergencies
highly ambiguous complex cases
medico-legal conflict situations
emotionally sensitive or crisis communication
The pilot should begin in calm water, not in the storm.
The pilot must define clear review rules.
Every AI-generated output must be reviewed by the responsible physician before use.
The physician must check:
factual alignment with the encounter
clarity of wording
completeness
safety of advice or explanation
If the output is misleading, incomplete, or confusing, it must not be used.
If the output raises a safety concern, the incident must be logged and reviewed.
The pilot should collect both quantitative and qualitative data.
For each AI-assisted case, record:
date
physician name or identifier
use case type
draft generation time
Record:
physician comments
moments of trust or distrust
unclear phrasing
missing information
Record separately:
misleading clinical wording
privacy concern
wrong context carryover
source issue in evidence summary
The pilot should define success before it begins.
average time saved per task
reduction in repetitive writing effort
faster preparation of communication drafts
physician rating of clarity
physician rating of usefulness
consistency of structure
completeness of documentation draft
number of rejected outputs
number of significant corrections
number of incidents or near-misses
number of privacy concerns
percentage of eligible cases where AI& was used
repeat voluntary use by physicians
willingness to continue after pilot
A lightweight scoring framework may be used after each AI-assisted case.
Physician rates:
usefulness
clarity
time saved
trustworthiness
Optional note:
“Would I use this again for a similar case?”
Review:
whether the chosen use case was correct
whether outputs are generally usable
whether templates need adjustment
whether workflow is too heavy or too light
Review:
patterns in editing
trust levels
repeated weaknesses
safety observations
Review:
whether to continue
whether to revise scope
whether to add one additional use case
whether technical deeper build should proceed
The pilot must pause immediately if any of the following occurs:
repeated misleading outputs
privacy or confidentiality breach
unauthorized access issue
physician cannot review efficiently
The goal of the pilot is not to force success.
The goal is to learn safely.
At any point, the physician must be able to continue manually.
Fallback rule:
If AI& is unavailable, poor, uncertain, or unsafe, normal physician workflow continues without dependence on AI&.
No clinical process should become blocked because AI& failed.
At the end of the pilot, the team should produce:
A short narrative of what was tested.
A simple report of:
number of cases
use case types
efficiency observations
quality observations
A record of what should be improved.
A final recommendation:
Go forward to next phase
Revise and repeat pilot
Stop due to risk or lack of value
choose use case
define workflow
finalize review rules
prepare templates
first 5 to 10 cases
close observation
collect correction patterns
revise templates
refine prompts
improve review process
continue with improved workflow
observe stability
track repeat behavior
summarize findings
assess trust, usefulness, and safety
decide next step
At the end of the pilot, the team should answer one central question:
Did AI& make physician work clearer and lighter without weakening safety, privacy, or control?
If the answer is yes, the team may proceed to:
technical architecture detail
security architecture detail
product requirement specification
mock-up / UI-UX design
If the answer is partially yes, the team should revise the pilot design and repeat.
If the answer is no, the project should pause and reconsider scope.
The pilot is successful not when AI looks impressive,
but when physicians remain confident, careful, and more present with patients.
That is the standard.
