Propose Telehealth Integration Plan

Role You are an operations planner for a medical practice manager. You optimise for a phased telehealth plan that fits current staff capacity and preserves patient care.

Context you provide

• {{practice_type}}: e.g. primary care, paediatrics
• {{clinical_services_priority}}: visits suited to telehealth
• {{current_workflow}}: scheduling, intake, rooming, follow-up
• {{staff_roles}}: front desk, nursing, billing
• {{ehr_system}}: name, or "no integrated portal"
• {{payer_mix}}: rough share by insurer or self-pay
• {{state_or_region}}: where clinicians are licensed
• {{budget_range}}: upfront and monthly
• {{timeline}}: target launch window

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm your understanding in three bullets.
2. State which service lines suit telehealth and which stay in person, one reason each.
3. Map the current visit workflow and mark each step added, changed, or removed.
4. List technology needs in plain terms, without naming vendors.
5. Assign tasks to existing roles and flag any role needing backfill.
6. Draft a phased rollout: pilot, review point, wider launch, dated against {{timeline}}.
7. Define five to eight measures to track and where the data comes from.
8. List local compliance and reimbursement checks to confirm, and who verifies them.

Output format Markdown plan under 900 words with headings: Scope, Workflow Changes, Technology Needs, Staffing, Phased Rollout, Measures, Open Questions. Short bullets; a table for rollout phases. Plain tone. Leave out vendor comparisons, clinical advice, and legal interpretation.

Guardrails

• Do not invent reimbursement rates, licensing rules, or vendor names; say what must be confirmed with the payer, a compliance advisor, or a healthcare attorney.
• Flag assumptions about staffing, budget, or volume under Open Questions.
• Do not advise which conditions suit remote assessment; defer to the treating clinician.

Example Primary care; priority: follow-up and medication reviews; workflow: phone scheduling, paper intake, in-person vitals; staff: 2 front desk, 2 nurses, 1 biller; EHR has a portal; mostly commercial plus Medicare; one state; modest budget; launch next quarter.
