06 · Use cases

Use case overview · UC1

UC1 - Procedure Readiness for Scheduling

My understanding

UC1 identifies clinical and administrative readiness conditions before scheduling.

Architecture pattern and portfolio role

Objective. Identify clinical and administrative readiness conditions before scheduling.
Pattern. Evidence collection, policy evaluation, deterministic readiness rules, and exception review.
Portfolio role. Future payer-provider workflow.

Source-grounded detail

Reusable pattern coverage: readiness rules and explanations, procedure evidence model, authorization / provider / facility / scheduling tools, readiness and authorization policy, missing-prerequisite tracking, and blocker evidence for review.
UC1 has meaningful value, but complete readiness also depends on provider-side clinical and operational ownership.

07 · Use cases

Use case overview · UC2

UC2 - Intelligent Referral Matching and Routing

My understanding

UC2 identifies appropriate in-network specialists and routes referrals with evidence.

Architecture pattern and portfolio role

Objective. Identify the specialist need from referral text, apply hard payer requirements, rank only valid candidates, explain the result, and route or review.
Pattern. Document understanding, authoritative search, deterministic filters, ranking, and explanation.
Portfolio role. POC 1 and detailed enablement plan.

Source-grounded detail

The POC uses synthetic referral and provider data. It does not connect to a production EHR, enrollment platform, provider directory, network-contracting platform, authorization system, or routing queue.
It proves the task structure, API contracts, deterministic filter order, ranking approach, explanation structure, review logic, and audit output.
The current POC ranking weights are 55 percent clinical and subspecialty relevance, 30 percent normalized quality, and 15 percent distance. These are POC implementation settings and require business validation before production.

Status in this engagement

POC 1, implemented. Also the selected use case for the detailed AI enablement plan.

08 · Use cases

Use case overview · UC3

UC3 - Automated Scheduling and Admin Assistant

My understanding

UC3 improves member self-service and administrative coordination for scheduling.

Architecture pattern and portfolio role

Objective. Improve member self-service and administrative coordination.
Pattern. Conversation, workflow state, provider context, slot discovery, confirmation, and transaction control.
Portfolio role. Next care-access workflow.

Source-grounded detail

Reusable pattern coverage: booking and confirmation controls, intent and appointment context, provider / schedule / communication tools, administrative guidance knowledge, confirmation-failure-escalation state, and appointment and escalation explanation.
Risk noted in the source: scheduling connectivity limits automation for UC3. Keep UC3 on the roadmap until availability and booking interfaces are confirmed.

09 · Use cases

Use case overview · UC4

UC4 - Specialist Network Integration

My understanding

UC4 creates trusted specialist and network context across payer sources.

Architecture pattern and portfolio role

Objective. Create trusted specialist and network context across payer sources.
Pattern. Entity resolution, taxonomy, provenance, network-product mapping, and data-quality workflow.
Portfolio role. Strategic data foundation.

Source-grounded detail

Reusable pattern coverage: identity and network validations, trusted specialist profile, directory / contracting / credentialing tools, taxonomy and data-quality rules, source-conflict resolution, and source and quality explanation.
UC4 has broad strategic value, but its production scope includes identity resolution, source reconciliation, product participation, and provider-data governance.
UC4 should be treated as the provider-intelligence foundation that strengthens UC2 and UC3.

Status in this engagement

Business value /20

Implementation lift /20

Portfolio leverage /20

Roadmap role

Sequence 4. Mature UC4, reusing the provider contract and data-quality feedback. New capability added: identity resolution, provenance, network-product mastering, and stewardship.

Recommendation: Treat as the strategic provider-data foundation.

10 · Use cases

Use case overview · UC5

UC5 - Claims Ingestion and Normalization

My understanding

UC5 normalizes claim intake and improves exception investigation.

Architecture pattern and portfolio role

Objective. Parse and check an X12 837P claim, create a canonical claim, and use AI-assisted investigation for exceptions.
Pattern. Deterministic X12 pipeline, canonical data, grounded investigation, and operational routing.
Portfolio role. POC 2.

Source-grounded detail

The use case improves intake and operations. It does not perform adjudication or decide whether a claim should be paid.
X12 identifies the 837 transaction set as the healthcare claim format used to submit and transfer professional, institutional, and dental claims and encounters to payers. This supports keeping transaction parsing and syntax validation deterministic.
The successful path bypasses investigation. The exception path collects validator output or downstream error evidence and compares it with the approved runbook.

Status in this engagement

POC 2, implemented.

Business value /20

Implementation lift /20

Portfolio leverage /20

Roadmap role

Sequence 5. Expand UC5 claims operations, reusing canonical claim, runbook, investigation, routing, and audit. New capability added: production EDI, log correlation, work queues, replay, and scale.

Recommendation: Select as POC 2.

Selection rationale

Five conclusions follow from the scores.

Why UC2 and UC5 were selected

UC2 has the strongest value-versus-lift position and the highest portfolio leverage.
UC5 provides a complementary payer operations pattern with a practical focused synthetic POC.
UC3 has strong value, but its most important production outcome depends on external provider scheduling connectivity.
UC4 has broad strategic value, but production scope includes identity resolution, source reconciliation, product participation, and provider-data governance.
UC1 has meaningful value, but complete readiness also depends on provider-side clinical and operational ownership.

14 · Recommendation

Executive recommendation

Start with two proven workflows

UC2 supports care access. UC5 supports core payer operations. Both run on one shared platform design.

POC 1 · Care access and navigation

UC2 - Intelligent Referral Matching and Routing

Reads the referral, finds valid providers, applies fixed payer rules, ranks valid choices, explains the result, and routes the referral.
Selected for the detailed AI enablement plan because it exercises the broadest set of shared platform capabilities.

POC 2 · Core payer operations

UC5 - Claims Ingestion and Normalization

Parses and checks a synthetic X12 837P claim, creates a common claim record, and helps staff investigate exceptions.
Improves intake and operations. It does not perform adjudication or decide whether a claim should be paid.

Three decisions requested today

1. Approve UC2 and UC5 as the two interview POCs.
2. Use UC2 as the first production enablement plan.
3. Build the common task, tool, knowledge, state, audit, and evaluation services once.

Immediate next step: a focused discovery to confirm client systems, data owners, operating teams, security rules, and acceptance measures.

15 · POC deep dives

UC2 implemented workflow

UC2 filters first, then ranks

Product participation and accepting-new-patient status are enforced before ranking. The reasoning layer never invents a provider or changes network status.

01Read

Referral intake and structured extraction.

02Search

Provider tool returns authoritative candidates.

03Filter

Deterministic network and new-patient filters run before ranking.

Hard filters precede ranking

Product network participation required. Accepting new patients required.

Deterministic order

The reasoning layer never invents a provider and never changes network status.

UC2 implemented workflow, continued

UC2 ranks, explains, and routes

Only valid candidates are ranked. Every result returns evidence, rules, score, and confidence.

04Rank

Only valid candidates are ranked.

05Explain

Evidence, rules, score, and confidence.

06Route

Route the referral or send it to human review.

POC ranking weights

55% clinical and subspecialty relevance, 30% normalized quality, 15% distance. POC settings requiring business validation before production.

Review path

If specialty intent is unclear or confidence is low, the workflow does not rank providers and routes the case to a referral specialist.

Endpoint contract

POST /referrals/match

Receives a referral identifier, member identifier, referral text, ZIP code, product, and preferred language. Returns interpreted need, rules applied, excluded candidates, ranked candidates, explanation, confidence, review flag, and audit events.

17 · POC deep dives

UC2 validated scenarios

UC2 passed three clear scenarios

Every result returns rules, evidence, confidence, review state, and audit events.

Scenario	Input and control	Validated output
Normal referral	Synthetic knee referral for a PPO member.	Status ROUTED. Provider P100, Capital Ortho Sports Medicine, ranks first with match score 0.951. Human review is false.
Network guardrail	A clinically strong provider participates in HMO but not the member's PPO product.	Provider P101 is placed in excluded candidates before ranking, with reason “Not in member product PPO”.
Ambiguous referral	Referral supports both Orthopedic Surgery and Neurology.	Status REVIEW_REQUIRED, confidence 0.58, no ranked candidates, and human review is true.

UC5 implemented workflow

UC5 keeps AI off the successful claim path

Successful claims are parsed, validated, and normalized deterministically and bypass investigation. AI investigation runs only on the exception path.

01Receive

Synthetic 837P transaction received.

02Parse

Deterministic X12 parsing.

03Validate

Required-field validation.

The POC does not

Validate X12 through AI, adjudicate payment, change financial values, or invent identifiers.

Endpoint contract

POST /claims/process

Receives a claim identifier, an X12 string, and an optional simulated downstream error. The parser extracts member identifier, rendering-provider NPI, claim number, total charge, diagnosis code, procedure code, and line charge.

19 · POC deep dives

UC5 implemented workflow, continued

UC5 normalizes, then branches

Successful claims bypass investigation. Exceptions open an investigation case with grounded evidence.

04Normalize

Canonical claim JSON created.

05Accepted / Investigate

Successful claims bypass investigation. Exceptions open an investigation case.

06Explain and route

Root cause, runbook evidence, and queue.

Successful path

A successful claim does not call the investigation flow. This protects throughput, latency, cost, and transaction integrity. AI services scale according to exception volume rather than total claims volume.

20 · POC deep dives

UC5 approved knowledge

Investigation is grounded in an approved runbook

The exception path compares validator output or downstream error evidence with the approved claims runbook.

Approved claims runbook

VAL-RENDERING-NPI - The professional claim is missing a rendering provider NPI.Route to EDI operations / trading partner correction. Do not infer or invent the provider identifier.
MAP-204 - A downstream mapping step failed while transforming claim line diagnosis pointer information.Route to claims integration support. Compare the active trading-partner mapping with the canonical mapping and replay only after correction.

The investigation assistant may explain and route an exception. It must not change claim financial values, invent missing identifiers, or adjudicate payment.

21 · POC deep dives

UC5 validated scenarios

UC5 passed three clear scenarios

Every result returns validator evidence, runbook sources, confidence, and audit events.

Scenario	Control	Validated output
Valid claim	Complete required values.	Status ACCEPTED, canonical claim created with rendering-provider NPI 1234567890, and the audit states that successful processing bypassed investigation.
Missing rendering-provider NPI	Required provider value omitted.	Status EXCEPTION, error VAL-RENDERING-NPI, grounded explanation, route to EDI Operations / Trading Partner Correction, confidence 0.98.
MAP-204 downstream failure	Valid claim plus simulated diagnosis-pointer mapping failure.	Status DOWNSTREAM_EXCEPTION, canonical claim retained, runbook evidence identified, route to Claims Integration Support, confidence 0.94.

22 · Selection

POC selection and value story

The two POCs tell one strong story

The selection is based on breadth and complementarity rather than two similar demonstrations. UC2 shows understand, match, explain, and route. UC5 shows normalize, investigate, explain, and resolve.

Care access

UC2, Referral Matching

Business story: help a member or coordinator identify an appropriate valid specialist and route the referral.
Agentic behavior: interpret clinical text, identify specialty, explain ranking, detect ambiguity, and coordinate tools.
Deterministic boundary: provider facts, network status, accepting-new-patient status, and hard filters remain authoritative and deterministic.

Core operations

UC5, Claims Ingestion

Business story: normalize a claim and help operations investigate exceptions.
Agentic behavior: explain validator output, collect evidence, identify likely root cause, and recommend a queue.
Deterministic boundary: X12 parsing, required-field validation, canonical mapping, and the successful claims path remain deterministic.

Keep trusted facts outside the model

AI can recommend and explain. Trusted systems and people keep control of transactions and material actions.

AI reasoning

Interprets and explains

Reads unstructured text and interprets ambiguity.
Explains results with evidence.
Investigates exceptions.
Coordinates allowed tools.

Deterministic services

Establish and enforce facts

Systems of record establish trusted facts.
Network and new-patient filters run before ranking.

Transaction controls and saved workflow state.

People

Own material actions

Review exceptions and low-confidence cases.
Approve material changes.
Own final operational disposition.

Explanation contract

Explanations show the answer, evidence, rules, confidence, and next action. They do not expose internal chain-of-thought. The platform records a concise reasoning summary and structured evidence.

The shared platform provides knowledge search, ranking, explanation, parsing, validation, normalization, and transaction controls.

31 · Platform

Implemented POC runtime

The POC runtime is small and reusable

The runtime is intentionally replaceable. A production model gateway, such as an approved Bedrock-based gateway, can replace the local implementation while preserving the task and service contracts.

Runtime element	Implemented evidence	Production evolution
API surface	GET /demo/referrals, GET /demo/claims, POST /referrals/match, and POST /claims/process.	API Gateway, enterprise identity, request policy, rate control, and service-level monitoring.
Durable tasks	Referral and claims instructions stored under app/tasks.	Versioned task registry with approval, deployment, rollback, and ownership controls.
Reasoning adapter	Local deterministic referral interpretation and claims exception reasoning.	Model gateway using approved Amazon Bedrock models or the client model service.
Enterprise tools	Synthetic provider data, deterministic claim parser, validator, normalizer, and runbook access.	Typed connectors to payer systems, FHIR APIs, EDI services, logs, and work queues.

32 · Platform

Implemented POC runtime, continued

Knowledge, state, audit, and evaluation

Knowledge, typed state and audit, and automated evaluation complete the runtime picture.

Runtime element	Implemented evidence	Production evolution
Knowledge	claims_runbook.md provides grounded entries for known errors.	Curated, approved, versioned knowledge with retrieval quality controls and citations.
State and audit	Typed response objects include status, evidence, confidence, review flags, and audit events.	Persistent workflow store, trace correlation, immutable audit history, and operational dashboards.
Evaluation	Six automated tests cover normal, guardrail, human-review, accepted claim, known error, and downstream error paths.	Golden datasets, tool-mock suites, security tests, load tests, and release gates.

Implementation boundary

The current POCs use local deterministic implementations to test workflow contracts, fixed controls, task structure, tool boundaries, and exception paths. They do not call an LLM or Amazon Bedrock. A production architecture can introduce an approved model gateway, such as a Bedrock-based gateway, without changing task and tool contracts.

Automated test execution: 6 of 6 passed.

Containerized services or Lambda can implement deterministic tools, adapters, and workflow activities. SQS and EventBridge support asynchronous work and decoupling. DynamoDB or Aurora can store workflow and business state according to transaction needs.

35 · Production

Production controls

Production needs clear safety and recovery rules

Security, scaling, reliability, observability, and human review are one connected control system.

Security, privacy, and AI governance

Identity and access: workload and user identity, least privilege, role separation, time-bound access, and tool-level authorization.
PHI protection: data minimization, encryption in transit and at rest, approved model endpoints, private network paths, secure logging, and retention controls.
Prompt and tool security: input validation, instruction hierarchy, prompt-injection defenses, tool allowlists, parameter validation, and output schemas.
Grounding: approved sources, version and effective date, citation, retrieval-quality evaluation, and blocking or review thresholds.
Model governance: approved models, documented intended use, evaluation evidence, change control, fallback, monitoring, and retirement.

36 · Production

Production controls, continued

Audit, scaling, and reliability

Workflow state persists outside the model, and every case carries a complete audit record.

Audit record

Audit: identity, case, correlation ID, input reference, model version, task version, tool calls, rules, evidence, human action, and final disposition.

Scaling and reliability

Workflow state persists outside the model. Every case receives a correlation identifier.
Asynchronous workloads use idempotency keys, retries with bounded backoff, dead-letter queues, replay, and explicit terminal states.
Successful claim transactions remain on the deterministic path and avoid model calls.
Traffic spikes use queue-based buffering, horizontal scaling, backpressure, rate limits, and workload isolation.
Regional disruption uses client-defined recovery point and recovery time objectives, replicated durable state, backup, and tested recovery.

37 · Production

Production controls, continued

Observability and human review

Operations measure business outcomes, system health, model behavior, and cost, and people own material actions.

Observability

Observability covers business outcomes, system health, model behavior, tool behavior, security signals, and cost. Core metrics include workflow volume, state duration, exception rate, human-review rate, tool success, tool latency, model latency, grounded-response rate, guardrail interventions, token usage, cost per case, and final disposition.

Human review

Review triggers: low confidence, ambiguous interpretation, conflicting source facts, material correction, and unknown pattern. Reviews have approved reviewer roles, service levels, disposition codes, and escalation paths. Explanations show answer, evidence, rules, confidence, and next action, and never expose chain-of-thought.

38 · Production

UC2 AI enablement plan

UC2 is the first production target

UC2 is the selected production-readiness use case because it exercises the broadest common platform capabilities. The plan moves from the synthetic FastAPI implementation to a production payer workflow.

Sequenced roadmap

Reuse makes the roadmap faster

The roadmap uses the Phase One POCs to create shared platform assets, then expands through production and future workflows.

Complete and validate UC2 and UC5 POCs.

Reused. Shared FastAPI runtime, task assets, tool contracts, audit, and tests.

Added. Referral matching, canonical claims, and exception investigation.

Productionize UC2.

Reused. Referral task, provider tool contract, filters, explanation, review, and evaluation.

Added. Real payer connectors, PHI controls, operations, resilience, and monitoring.

Extend to UC3 Scheduling and Admin Assistant.

Reused. Member, referral, provider, coverage, workflow, audit, and human review.

Added. Conversation state, availability, booking confirmation, and communications.

45 · Plan

Sequenced roadmap, continued

Sequence four to six

Provider-data mastering, expanded claims operations, and procedure readiness follow the first three sequences.

Mature UC4 Specialist Network Integration.

Reused. Provider contract and data-quality feedback.

Added. Identity resolution, provenance, network-product mastering, and stewardship.

Expand UC5 claims operations.

Reused. Canonical claim, runbook, investigation, routing, and audit.

Added. Production EDI, log correlation, work queues, replay, and scale.

Add UC1 Procedure Readiness.

Reused. Policy, document, authorization, provider, state, and review services.

Added. Procedure evidence model, readiness rules, and payer-provider coordination.

Automated test execution: 6 of 6 passed.

Recommendation and close

Approve the two-POC path

Three decisions today, and one immediate next step.

Decision 1

Approve UC2 and UC5

Approve the two proof of concepts as the interview targets.

Decision 2

Productionize UC2 first

Use referral matching for the first production enablement plan.

Decision 3

Build core services once

Build all core platform services once for maximum reuse.

Immediate next step

Focused discovery to validate client systems, data owners, operating teams, security rules, and acceptance measures. Discovery replaces the documented assumptions with client facts and produces the production backlog.

Sequencing guidance

UC4 is the provider-intelligence foundation that strengthens UC2 and UC3.
UC3 follows when scheduling connectivity is confirmed.
UC5 progresses from POC to a production exception-investigation capability after the EDI gateway, claims platform, log sources, and operational queues are validated.
UC1 remains a later cross-enterprise workflow.
