AI agent for surgeons
Surgeon Preference Card Update Agent
Preference cards match what is actually used, with fewer wasted items and fewer missing ones.
What it does
Preference cards list what each surgeon wants for each procedure, but they go out of date, so supplies are wrong or wasted. After each case, the agent compares the items opened with the card and finds items that were unused or missing from the card. It checks several cases before proposing a change so that a one-off request does not change the card. It drafts the edit and shows the cost effect. The surgeon approves each updated card. Edge case: an item used only when a complication occurs, which the agent keeps as an on-request item.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
