Choose the workflow and result
Name the trigger, owner, current cost, risk, desired outcome, and evidence needed for a pilot decision.
Fixed-scope offer · Two weeks
Find the one healthcare workflow worth automating next.
Bring one costly clinical, claims, or administrative workflow. In two weeks, Atom & Bits maps the work, sets the limits for safe automation, and gives your team a pilot decision and build plan.

Build or stopA decision, not an open-ended roadmap
When this fits
Your team sees the burden. It does not yet have a safe build decision.
Use the assessment before you approve a vendor, hire a team, or ask staff to work around another unfinished tool.
Good fit
- Staff re-enter the same facts across systems
- A queue, inbox, spreadsheet, or portal controls the work
- Rules and exceptions live in people's heads
- Errors can affect care, payment, or trust
- Leaders need proof before funding a pilot
Not a fit
- You want a broad AI strategy with no named workflow
- You need production software in two weeks
- No workflow owner can join the work
- The goal is to remove required clinical or financial judgment
- You need a claim of guaranteed savings or compliance
How the two weeks work
Follow the work before choosing the technology.
The assessment uses your real process, rules, examples, and constraints. It does not begin with a model or vendor.
Trace the work end to end
Follow the inputs, systems, rules, handoffs, delays, exceptions, and decisions that shape the result.
Design the smallest safe pilot
Set system authority, human controls, failure paths, measures, cost range, and the next 90 days of work.
What you receive
The files your team needs to make and fund the decision.
Each item names the owner, evidence, and next action. Your team can use the work with Atom & Bits, another partner, or its own staff.
Current workflow map
The trigger, inputs, systems, rules, handoffs, wait states, exceptions, decisions, and outcome.
Automation and control design
What rules can do, where AI may help, what a person must decide, and what the system must never do.
Pilot and build plan
The smallest test, system outline, measures, cost range, owners, risks, and next 90 days.
Final recommendation
Build, buy, change the process first, or stop. The recommendation states why, what evidence supports it, what remains unknown, and what approval comes next.
The assessment does not include production software, vendor implementation, model training, legal advice, a security audit, or HIPAA certification. Those require separate scope and review.
Why Ian Harman
The method comes from healthcare systems Ian built and ran.
Ian has worked inside payer systems, care delivery, clinical matching, provider networks, claims, and payment.
20% less SOAP-note documentation time
A provider-reviewed workflow cut documentation time per encounter across 2,000+ encounters over three months. Patient survey outcome scores did not fall.
200× reported claims capacity
Work across provider-network data, healthcare EDI, claims, payer rules, payment operations, and control states.
Built, sold, and integrated
Ian co-founded a clinical matching product that TPN.health acquired in 2025.
Common questions
What buyers ask before the fit call.
What workflow should we bring?
Bring one repeated workflow with a named owner, clear pain, and an outcome you can measure. Good examples include clinical documentation, prior work for a claim, exception review, payer-rule checks, provider data, or administrative follow-up.
Does the recommendation have to use AI?
No. The right answer may use rules, integration, a process change, AI, or a mix. The assessment may also show that the team should stop or wait.
What access does Ian need?
Ian needs the workflow owner, a few people who do the work, the rules they use, and representative artifacts. Use de-identified examples. Do not send protected health information by email.
What does it cost?
The work uses a fixed fee set before kickoff. A 30-minute fit call confirms the workflow, access, scope, and price.
What happens after two weeks?
Your team can use the plan itself, hire another partner, or ask Atom & Bits to help build the pilot. The assessment does not require more work.
Start with one workflow
Bring the work your team keeps doing by hand.
In the fit call, Ian will tell you whether the assessment fits, what access it needs, and what the fixed fee will be. If it does not fit, he will say so.
