In healthcare settings, staff have usually seen efficiency initiatives before. Vague reassurance reads as evasion. Being specific about what changes — and admitting what is undecided — earns more trust than optimism.
- Specific beats reassuring
'Your role does not change' is only credible if you can say what does.
- The people doing the work see the failures first
Make it easy and consequence-free for them to report what the tool gets wrong.
- Clinical judgment is not the target
Be explicit that professional judgment is not what is being automated here.
Daniel announces the drafting pilot at a team meeting. Afterwards, two staff ask privately whether the orientation coordinator role is being phased out. Nobody asked during the meeting.

My change plan
- State what changes and what does not
Describe the specific task affected and the tasks that are unchanged. Name what is genuinely undecided rather than smoothing over it.
- Create a private channel
Give people a way to report problems and ask questions that is not a team meeting.
- Protect professional judgment explicitly
Write what the tool does not touch — clinical decisions, individual assessments, anything requiring professional judgment.
- Set a real decision point
Choose a date to decide continue, change, or stop, and say in advance what evidence decides it.

What should Daniel conclude?
Every option has an explanation. Open as many as you like — nothing is recorded or scored.
