About this trial

This trial evaluates CITE, a retrieve-and-verify layer that audits an AI-generated care plan against a full-text evidence corpus and flags patient-specific codifiable safety hazards to the clinician. The co-primary outcomes are how accurately CITE flags these hazards (sensitivity and specificity versus blinded clinician adjudication) and its clinician alert burden and acceptance, compared with AI care plans using safety guardrails alone and with unassisted clinician care, in Medicaid primary care.
