## Risk Management

### High-Risk Items

**1. Frontend Development Timeline**

- **Risk:** 20-week timeline may extend
- **Mitigation:** Agile approach, MVP features first, parallel development
- **Contingency:** Phased rollout, defer nice-to-have features

**2. External API Costs**

- **Risk:** UpToDate, OpenAI costs may exceed budget
- **Mitigation:** Caching, rate limiting, cost monitoring
- **Contingency:** Usage caps, tiered access, alternative providers

**3. EMR Integration Complexity**

- **Risk:** FHIR integration more complex than estimated
- **Mitigation:** Partner with EMR integration consultants
- **Contingency:** Focus on most popular EMR systems first

**4. Offline Mode PHI Security**

- **Risk:** PHI exposure in offline storage
- **Mitigation:** Encryption, auto-expiration, compliance review
- **Contingency:** Non-PHI offline mode only

---

## Open Questions & Clarifications Needed

### Design & UX

1. **Design Tokens System:**
   - Does a design system already exist (Figma/Sketch)?
   - Should we use an existing design tokens package (Style Dictionary)?
   - What are the brand colors and typography choices?

2. **Storybook Setup:**
   - Should Storybook be part of the initial monorepo setup?
   - What level of component documentation is required?

---

### Infrastructure & Operations

3. **Deployment Strategy:**
   - Should frontend apps deploy to the same Ubuntu server or separate infrastructure?
   - Do we need separate staging/production environments for frontend?
   - What CI/CD platform is preferred (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)?

4. **Monitoring & Telemetry:**
   - Which telemetry provider is preferred (Sentry, DataDog, New Relic)?
   - What's the budget for telemetry services?
   - Should we self-host monitoring tools?

---

### External Dependencies

5. **Medical Database Licensing:**
   - What's the budget for UpToDate licensing (~$500-1000/month)?
   - Are there existing relationships with medical database providers?
   - What's the priority for each external integration?

6. **EMR Integration:**
   - Are there specific hospital partners or EMR systems to target first?
   - What's the timeline for hospital partnership discussions?
   - Is there budget for HL7 FHIR compliance certification?

---

### Compliance & Security

7. **Offline Mode PHI:**
   - What are the regulatory constraints on offline PHI storage?
   - Is offline mode even permitted under current HIPAA interpretation?
   - Should we consult with compliance officers before implementing?

8. **GDPR Compliance:**
   - Is European deployment a near-term goal?
   - What's the priority for GDPR features?
   - Should we implement data residency options?

---

### AI & Machine Learning

9. **Model Fine-Tuning:**
   - Do we have budget/resources for GPU infrastructure?
   - Should we fine-tune models or use prompt engineering?
   - What's the strategy for model evaluation and benchmarking?

10. **Multi-Modal AI:**
    - What medical image analysis use cases are highest priority?
    - Do we have access to labeled medical image datasets?
    - What are the liability considerations for AI-assisted diagnosis?

## Conclusion

This Continuous Improvement Plan provides a comprehensive roadmap for evolving VoiceAssist beyond its initial production release. The plan prioritizes:

1. **Frontend applications** (20 weeks) - Critical for user adoption
2. **Deferred backend features** - Complete voice pipeline, specialized models
3. **Platform enhancements** - Design system, accessibility, i18n, PWA
4. **External integrations** - Medical databases, EMR systems
5. **Advanced capabilities** - Multi-modal AI, advanced RAG, feedback loops

**Estimated Timeline:** 18-22 months for all milestones
**Team Size:** 2-3 developers initially, scaling to 5-6 for advanced features
**Total Effort:** 70-90 developer-weeks across all milestones

**Next Steps:**

1. Review and approve this plan
2. Answer open questions and clarifications
3. Begin Milestone 1: Frontend Foundation (Week 1-10)
4. Establish continuous improvement process (monthly reviews)
