The premise
Triage protocols save lives when they catch red flags and waste time when they over-escalate. AI can generate decision trees from clinical guidelines — but every red-flag branch must be reviewed by a clinician before going live.
What AI does well here
- Translate clinical decision rules into branching question logic
- Spot ambiguous wording that produces inconsistent triage
- Generate appropriate disposition language at each terminal node
- Test the tree against historical cases for routing accuracy
What AI cannot do
- Set the institutional risk tolerance for over- vs. under-triage
- Replace the clinician on the phone for ambiguous cases
- Catch the patient who under-reports symptoms
