90-Day Proof Phase Model

An example model for evaluating AI adoption in a healthcare operations setting.

This is an example model for evaluating AI adoption in a healthcare operations setting. It is educational and must be reviewed locally before use.

Goal

Demonstrate whether a deliberate AI enablement program can produce measurable learning, productivity, quality, and risk-awareness improvements within one quarter.

Operating Principles

  • Time-boxed: 13 weeks.
  • Bounded: two or three generic pilot examples.
  • Measured: baseline before pilot use and compare after adoption.
  • Low-risk: use synthetic or de-identified material in reusable examples.
  • Human-reviewed: AI outputs are drafts, not final decisions.

Phase 0: Stand-Up

  • Select a small voluntary cohort.
  • Define data boundaries and example-only use cases.
  • Capture baseline time, quality, and confidence metrics.
  • Confirm local review requirements.
  • Schedule lightweight feedback sessions.

Phase 1: Build And Teach

  • Deliver introductory AI literacy content.
  • Build or simulate the example assistants.
  • Test against synthetic examples.
  • Teach review habits and output verification.
  • Collect early feedback.

Phase 2: Measure And Iterate

  • Compare output time and quality against baseline.
  • Record adoption barriers and support needs.
  • Refine examples and guidance.
  • Identify where local review would be required for broader use.

Phase 3: Decide

At the end of 90 days, leadership can decide whether to expand, pause, or redesign the program based on evidence.

Example success criteria:

  • Two example assistant patterns tested with synthetic or de-identified inputs.
  • One cohort completes basic AI literacy training.
  • A practical data-handling checklist is understood by participants.
  • Measurable improvement appears in at least one workflow.
  • No public claims are made about production readiness or institutional endorsement.
