Interventions
AI-Supported Rising-Risk Care Navigation
AI-supported proactive care navigation involves the generation of guideline-informed candidate care-navigation actions from protocol-authorized structured data, human-in-the-loop review by a nurse, and then delivery of the approved suggestion through existing care-management or clinical workflows. The nurse may accept, modify, reroute, or reject each candidate before participant outreach or care-team routing. Reassessment is planned approximately every 90 days and may change intervention delivery, but not assigned-group membership.
