Canonical identity spine

One roster. Functions do not become people.

Every person shown in a sequence links to one real service, enabling, clinical-leadership, legal, participant, or outside category. The selected step states the exact work and entry trigger. Software and records appear separately.

  • Exact retained Participant body
  • Exact retained approval, release, signature, attestation, or accountability act
Authority
Performs only the exact act that cannot be delegated or that the Participant has expressly retained.

1 mapped procedure assignment · 1 capacity
People served

Beneficiary

The person receiving GUIDE services.

Functions
  • Supplies lived facts, goals, priorities, choices, consent or refusal, and reported outcomes
  • Leads the person-centered Care Plan and participates through accessible routes
Authority
Owns personal choices except where a valid, decision-specific representative authority applies.
Boundary
A source report establishes what the beneficiary reported, not a clinical diagnosis, external result, or professional judgment.
96 mapped procedure assignments · 1 capacity

Episode functions are not job titles

Resolve the function to the real performer.

Each linked legacy function opens its definition, permitted role families, and controlling procedure instead of creating a phantom actor.

Function assignment

Assessment team or owner

The people accountable for the particular assessment act, not one standing job title.

How the exact person is selected
Resolve each task to the Puerto Rico navigator, exact U.S. RN, behavioral clinician, medical clinician, beneficiary/caregiver, or outside source shown in that assessment step.
Open the controlling procedure →

Function assignment

Care Plan owner

The canonical person assigned the particular Care Plan action or protected contribution.

How the exact person is selected
The beneficiary leads choices; the navigator facilitates and owns nonclinical follow-through; an exact U.S. clinician owns protected clinical judgment; outside or Participant acts stay with those parties.
Open the controlling procedure →

Function assignment

Caregiver-service owner

The canonical performer of the applicable caregiver education, support, training, or protected clinical contribution.

How the exact person is selected
Most relationship and application work resolves to the Puerto Rico navigator; clinical questions resolve to the exact U.S. clinician; contracted real-world training may resolve to an outside provider.
Open the controlling procedure →

Function assignment

Prescribing clinician

A function requiring actual prescribing authority for the beneficiary location and act.

How the exact person is selected
It resolves to Proxi's exact U.S. L4 clinician only when Proxi supplies that clinician; otherwise it resolves to the typed outside prescribing clinician.
Open the controlling procedure →

Function assignment

Transition source

The external hospital, facility, home-health, hospice, practice, or other endpoint supplying the transition event or source-native record.

How the exact person is selected
Resolve it to the exact outside organization in the event; Proxi may pursue and coordinate but cannot manufacture the outside result.
May resolve to
External party

Failure and exception routing

Route the work to a real job, not a specialist pool.

There is no runtime state in which an unnamed human may perform undefined work.

Start with the worker who owns the real task. Add another department only for its concrete work.

Protected escalation — exact authority

Nursing quality goes to the Head of nursing, physician or medical quality to the CMO, and a genuine uncovered legal question to healthcare counsel. The affected act remains held.

  1. Run the approved software rule and keep the original worker responsible for ordinary completion or correction.
  2. If human recovery is needed, use that worker's named lane lead before creating work for another department.
  3. Classify the remaining issue by the observable work: system operation, software defect, claim, Medicaid, workforce, nursing quality, medical quality, or legal interpretation.
  4. Assign one named rostered person from the matching real job category and state the exact input, act, output, due time, and return recipient.
  5. Keep portfolio work outside the beneficiary episode. HR roster repair, system incidents, and QA sampling do not become furnished GUIDE services.
  6. If no real role has the required authority, hold only the affected act and resolve the policy or organizational gap before field use.

Routine work correction

Human category
The original worker; then that worker's Philippine, Puerto Rico, or clinical lane lead
Person enters when
A handoff, callback, service record, or assigned action remains incomplete after the approved automated retry
Work
Correct the original work inside the same lane; the lead enters only after the defined repeat-failure or dispute threshold.
Output
Corrected work, named next action, due time, and recovery evidence.
Episode boundary
Beneficiary episode. Quality is a responsibility of the applicable lane lead, not a separate case specialist.

System operation

Human category
System administrator
Person enters when
The approved workflow cannot run because of access, configuration, telephony, integration availability, permissions, or environment failure
Work
Restore the approved configuration or service without changing the business or clinical rule.
Output
Restored service, incident evidence, affected interval, and escalation if the fault is a software defect.
Episode boundary
Operational incident. The administrator does not rewrite policy or clinical logic.

Software defect

Human category
Software engineering and debugging team
Person enters when
The implemented rule is wrong, required automation is missing, or the data model cannot express the approved policy
Work
Diagnose and correct the product defect under change control; preserve the failed result and affected cases for repair.
Output
Defect record, corrected release, validation evidence, and affected-work recovery list.
Episode boundary
Product incident. Engineering does not decide what the policy should be.

Claim or payment work

Human category
Billing and revenue-cycle specialist
Person enters when
A claim, coding, payment, denial, or claim-release artifact requires manual revenue-cycle work under an approved rule
Work
Correct the claim artifact or document the payer disposition without deciding whether a service was clinically appropriate.
Output
Released, corrected, held, or denied claim record with reason and next action.
Episode boundary
Beneficiary-linked financial work; not service delivery or clinical review.

Medicaid program question

Human category
Medicaid program specialist
Person enters when
A state Medicaid benefit, waiver, coverage authority, eligibility interface, or Medicaid responsibility question cannot be resolved from the approved rule and verified facts
Work
Resolve the bounded Medicaid program question or identify the authoritative outside source needed.
Output
Cited Medicaid disposition, missing source, or external referral; no GUIDE clinical decision.
Episode boundary
Program expertise. This is not a second billing queue.

Workforce and credential administration

Human category
HR and workforce administration
Person enters when
A roster, shift, onboarding, credential-file, leave, or capacity gap cannot be filled from the approved workforce plan
Work
Repair staffing and credential-file coverage outside the beneficiary episode.
Output
Accepted coverage, corrected workforce record, or documented capacity gap and escalation.
Episode boundary
Portfolio/workforce work. HR does not become a beneficiary-case owner.

Clinical quality or medical escalation

Human category
Head of nursing/clinical operations for nursing practice; Chief Medical Officer for physician or medical judgment
Person enters when
A repeated or serious clinical-practice issue exceeds the original clinician and first-line clinical supervisor
Work
Review only the nursing-practice or physician/medical issue inside the leader's actual authority.
Output
Clinical leadership disposition, corrective action, and responsible clinical owner.
Episode boundary
Rare clinical escalation. Missed administrative work never routes here.

Legal interpretation

Human category
Internal or retained healthcare legal counsel
Person enters when
Complete verified facts expose a genuine legal question that the approved policy does not answer
Work
Answer the bounded legal question while the affected act remains held.
Output
Legal disposition, restriction, or need for external authority.
Episode boundary
Rare held-act escalation. Counsel does not perform outreach, navigation, education, scheduling, or clinical work.

Return rule: the enabling or escalation role returns its result to the service worker responsible for the affected action. It does not take over the beneficiary relationship.

Nonhuman layer

Proxi software surfaces

Preparation and orchestration are visible, but they never borrow human authority.

01

Proxi Daily Companion

Configurable daily beneficiary interaction, approved information, reminders, action help, source-attributed self-report, and a direct request for a person.

Boundary

Not a qualifying navigator contact, 24/7 human first answer, clinical monitor, diagnosis, urgency decision, or service-completion event. Silence stays unknown.

02

Caregiver Companion View

Permission-scoped, source-dated last-confirmed beneficiary information, open actions, explicit unknowns, a fresh-check request, and an optional caregiver pulse.

Boundary

Does not expose unauthorized information, convert caregiver observation into beneficiary fact, score distress, or present synthetic clinical status. Silence, stale data, and conflict remain unknown and never become reassurance.

03

Staff Preparation and AI Workspace

Retrieval, source links, contradictions, unknowns, prior promises, approved explanations, options, summaries, and the exact unresolved question.

Boundary

Prepares and advises within approved content; it does not resolve the question, choose for the person, or prove human review.

04

Deterministic Routing and Takeover

Approved routing, no-repeat context transfer, retries, failed-handoff recovery, and preservation of the original issue.

Boundary

AI cannot select clinical urgency, authority, disclosure, service credit, or closure.

05

Action and Result Tracker

Promises, owners, deadlines, external responses, receiving acceptance, due work, returned results, corrections, and affected-pillar feeds.

Boundary

A send, alert, appointment, handoff, named owner, or dashboard state is not completion.

Proxi product layer · not a ninth pillar

Daily companion and caregiver pulse

Daily availability feeds the right service; it does not manufacture one.

  1. Verify identity and permission.Use the person's current scope, not family relationship or old access.
  2. Show the last confirmed picture.Every material item carries its source and as-of time; unknown stays unknown.
  3. Offer a beneficiary interaction.The beneficiary may participate, defer, decline, or ask for a person.
  4. Ask the optional caregiver pulse.Capture how the caregiver is holding up and whether help is wanted as caregiver-owned information.
  5. Prepare; do not decide.Proxi retrieves context, preserves exact reports, and raises configured stop candidates.
  6. Route to the real performer.L1, L2, the exact L3/L4 professional, a concrete enabling department or escalation authority, or the outside endpoint completes the named work and returns a disposition or source-native evidence.
  7. Return one action plan.State what happened, which canonical actor is assigned each action, what remains unknown, and when the result is expected.

No response is not stability. Companion activity alone is not a human GUIDE contact, 24/7 human answer, caregiver assessment or support call, clinical assessment, or service credit.

Mechanical reviewer check

If a name does not resolve here, it is a phantom actor.

A diagram assigns concrete work and an entry condition to a canonical person. It may name the exact capacity or outside subtype used in that step. It may not create a new person from a function, combine software and a human into one label, or put a ledger, packet, calendar, route, or work queue in the actor lane.

A linked function phrase in a source manual returns here when the exact performer depends on the episode or an open authority decision. The selected diagram step must resolve that function to the applicable canonical actor and state the work performed; the function link itself never claims a new person.
