New Use Case Assessment
Step-by-step risk classification
Does this system access or process patient health information (PHI)?
PHI includes any individually identifiable health data: names, MRNs, diagnoses, test results, images.
How does the AI output reach clinical care?

What is the likely consequence of a system error?
Consider worst-case failure: false positive acted on, missed finding, or erroneous autonomous action.
