Human on the loop
An oversight model where a clinician reviews AI work at defined checkpoints rather than approving every single step. The shift agentic systems make from human-in-the-loop, without removing the human.
An agent reads radiology reports for incidental lung nodules, books follow-up CTs at the protocol's intervals under a standing order the nodule program's physicians signed, and sends letters to the patient and their own clinician, while a nurse navigator reviews a daily log instead of approving each booking. That works for routine small nodules if cases outside the protocol, such as patients with known cancer or immunosuppression, stop and wait for her. Before go-live, write down those stop conditions, who can pause the agent, and how quickly a wrong booking would show up in the log.
