Fictional Healthcare Intake and Appointment Pilot Checklist

This fictional pilot uses synthetic records to test administrative intake and appointment requests. Practice professionals must define suitability, privacy, access and communication rules before testing; the pilot excludes clinical triage, diagnosis and treatment decisions.

1. Missing information: Submit a synthetic request without required administrative fields. Accept when the request is visibly held rather than booked, missing fields are identified, responsibility is assigned and completion or closure is recorded with timestamps.
2. Duplicate requests: Submit two matching synthetic appointment requests using practice-defined identifiers. Accept when staff can see the potential duplicate, no unintended second appointment is created and an authorised person records the merge, rejection or separate-request decision.
3. Access restrictions: Use test accounts representing approved and unapproved staff roles. Accept when each role sees only the administrative information permitted by the practice, restricted actions are blocked and attempted access is captured in an observable record.
4. Human-approved routing: Create a synthetic outbound administrative message and select a destination. Accept when it remains pending until an authorised person approves it, then records the approved wording, recipient, destination, approver and dispatch status without automated clinical interpretation.
5. Failed handoff recovery: Simulate an unavailable destination during transfer of a synthetic request. Accept when the failure is visible, the original record remains available, follow-up is assigned and a controlled retry or documented manual handoff produces a reconciled final status.
