Separate the nonclinical use you can assess from the clinical one you cannot.
Where does my organization actually stand?
Draft pathway. This content was written for the site and is awaiting content-owner review. The learning material in Learn with AI and Build Responsible AI has already been reviewed; this pathway has not.
In a healthcare setting the first readiness question is boundary, not capability. Staff orientation, scheduling notes and internal summaries sit in a different category from anything touching a patient — and the assessment differs accordingly.
- Draw the clinical line first
If the use touches patient information or care decisions, this pathway stops and a specialist review begins.
- Nonclinical still carries duty
An orientation document that states a requirement incorrectly still causes real harm to staff.
- Existing obligations do not pause
Privacy and professional standards apply to a pilot exactly as they apply to routine work.
Daniel coordinates orientation for new clinical staff. He is considering AI assistance for drafting orientation summaries from approved policy documents. No patient information is involved. The content still tells clinicians what is mandatory before they begin.
Daniel and every example here are prepared learning material, not a real case or an AI-generated result.
My readiness assessment
- Classify the use
State explicitly whether the use touches patient information or care decisions. If it does, stop and route it to specialist review.
- Trace the source
Identify exactly which approved documents the drafts would be built from, and who owns each.
- Rate the seven dimensions for this use only
Assess strategy, data, technology, people, culture, governance and ethics against the nonclinical use as classified.
- State the consequence of error
Describe what happens if a summary states a requirement that is not real — or omits one that is.
A draft adds a requirement.
A drafted orientation summary includes 'Complete mandatory online training first.' The source policy does not mention it.
