Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Draft guidance for patients and families on communication

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to turn your notes on a patient’s hearing needs, family concerns, and school or work setting into a simple communication plan and handout you can review with them. The agent can draft strategies, practice steps, and a follow-up note from your supplied details, while you decide what fits the person and what referrals are needed.

Where you stay involved

You review the draft strategies, choose what is appropriate for the patient and family, and confirm the final plan in person. You also decide when communication problems point to another service and make that referral yourself.

Review level: Medium

2

Fit hearing aids and check follow-up

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to organize the hearing aid visit details you enter, such as hearing needs, device model, settings, and patient feedback, into a clean fitting note and follow-up checklist. The agent can help you compare prior settings, draft care instructions, and summarize reported comfort or audibility so you can focus on the fitting itself.

Where you stay involved

You decide which device to fit or dispense, make the hands-on adjustments, and confirm the patient can manage the device. You also judge whether a problem needs medical attention, outside repair help, or a different device path.

Review level: High

3

Set up screening programs and referrals

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to assemble screening program materials from your procedures, screening results, and referral criteria so you can run the program more smoothly. It can draft sign-in sheets, result summaries, and referral notes from the records you provide, making it easier to track who needs another evaluation.

Where you stay involved

You decide how the screening is run, review the results, and decide who should be referred for more care. You remain responsible for the actual screening and for any judgment calls about next steps.

Review level: Medium

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
