Healthcare & health technology
Agents around sensitive health workflows need authority and access that remain observable.
Aivance assesses whether the controls configured around a healthcare or health-technology agent enforce delegated authority when data, workflow actions, communication, or exception paths are involved.
Who brings Aivance in: Usually a CIO, CISO, chief data or digital officer, health-technology leader, privacy lead, or AI programme owner responsible for a non-clinical deployment.
Consequential agent actions
Where authority needs to be explicit.
- 01Accessing patient, provider, or operational information
- 02Coordinating an appointment, referral, or administrative workflow
- 03Sending an external communication or escalating a case
- 04Requesting or applying an exception to a defined workflow rule
Illustrative health-technology scenario
A defined scenario makes the control question concrete.
A scheduling agent with appointment access reads clinical notes to “improve” a referral summary. Does the configured purpose boundary hold, and is the attempted access recorded for review?
What we test
Test purpose limitation, exception handling, and retained evidence.
The assessment focuses on the authority, access, workflow, and evidence controls around an agent. It is scoped to a defined environment and does not evaluate clinical performance.
Does the agent’s access remain within its assigned purpose and workflow context?
Does the configured approval or escalation path hold when a routine path becomes an exception?
Does decision evidence retain the action, authority, approval, and outcome in a usable form?
Client-selected reference inputs
Reference inputs selected by your team.
These materials can provide context alongside your internal policies and authority model. Aivance’s assessment remains focused on the defined authority and control scenario, rather than formal interpretation or certification against external materials.
Operational decision evidence
The evidence should be usable by the people accountable for the outcome.
The people operating and governing the workflow should be able to see the purpose, authority, control decision, and outcome.
Action purpose and data-access context
Authority and exception conditions
Approval, denial, or escalation record
Configuration version and retained outcome
Aivance assesses authority, access, workflow, and evidence controls around agents. It does not assess clinical safety, efficacy, diagnosis, treatment, or medical-device compliance.
