A risk statement defining tolerable errors: What evidence is required before approval?
Approval requires communicated error thresholds, escalation rules, and authority to pause use.
The question
A hospital administration team will use an AI tool to route appointment paperwork, not to provide clinical advice. Executives accept moderate administrative error risk, but staff do not know which errors require escalation or who may pause deployment. What evidence is required before approval?

- A vendor readiness checklist covering installation, access controls, and system configuration.Implementation readiness addresses technical setup but not the organization’s tolerance for errors or authority to intervene.
- An attendance record showing that all administrators completed general tool orientation.Attendance does not show that staff understand specific error thresholds or know who is authorized to pause use.
- A risk statement defining tolerable errors, escalation thresholds, and pause authority. ✓This translates executive risk tolerance into operational boundaries and identifies who can escalate or pause deployment when those boundaries are exceeded.
- A benefits presentation explaining how routing could reduce administrative workload.Benefits support the business case but do not define acceptable errors, escalation thresholds, or intervention authority.
The trap
When staff lack decision boundaries, seek explicit thresholds and named intervention authority—not general training evidence. How to remember it
Approval requires communicated error thresholds, escalation rules, and authority to pause use.
