Experience
Clinical Workflow Automation and Intelligent Healthcare Automation – TELUS Health
https://www.telus.com/en/health/health-professionals/clinics/collaborative-health-recordI identified an opportunity to reduce friction in clinician workflow creation by introducing an AI-assisted "describe to build" feature. I designed the end-to-end architecture: a Vue.js textarea UI, a Rails service calling Telus's HIPAA-compliant FuelIX LLM proxy, and a JSON schema validator that maps Claude's output to the platform's existing workflow Node.js model. The feature eliminates drag-and-drop overhead for common workflow patterns while keeping patient data within the TELUS infrastructure.
