• Assess clinical fit, usability, human oversight, safety, workload, and operational feasibility of proposed solutions.
• Define clinically meaningful baselines, measures, data needs, and interpretation guidance with data and evaluation teams.
• Guide pilot design under representative workflow conditions and identify adoption barriers or unintended effects.
• Bridge clinicians, clinical operations, HCD, data, architecture, engineering, security, and program leadership.
• Coach clinical workflow staff and coordinate specialty SMEs when deeper domain expertise is required.

• Review proposed capabilities for human-factors, clinical usability, automation bias, escalation, override, and human-oversight considerations and identify conditions that require additional clinical review.
• Define clinically meaningful baseline and outcome measures with data and evaluation staff, including clear interpretation of access, timeliness, burden, quality, utilization, safety, and workflow effects.
• Guide pilot design and implementation observation in representative clinical settings, using findings to identify unintended consequences, adoption barriers, workflow disruption, or additional training and support needs.
