Stage 1 — Stability Monitoring

Baseline monitoring using the 1-2-3 Check-Up System.

Stage 1 is the baseline stability layer of OutsideINsights.


Purpose

  • Establish a continuous baseline of well-being between visits.
  • Identify meaningful changes early, before escalation is required.
  • Maintain compliance-aligned follow-through without adding workload.

Mechanism: The 1-2-3 Check-Up System

Stage 1 uses a simple repeatable check-in:

  1. Better
  2. Same
  3. Worse

The system collects these signals from patients at a configurable cadence.

Cadence in Stage 1 is configurable by organization, payer requirements, and clinical policy.
Default assumption: at least once every 30 days.


Stage 1 Expected Behavior

When patterns are stable or improving:

  • Stage 1 remains low-touch.
  • Check-ins may be reduced over time while maintaining payer compliance.
  • Providers have passive visibility through the dashboard.

When patterns show repeated "same" or "worse":

  • Stage 1 escalates into Stage 2 automatically when a patient is in a non-maintenance workflow (such as recovering from an illness or injury).
  • For maintenance workflow patients, a "same" response does not trigger Stage 2.
  • However, multiple "same" responses will eventually trigger an appropriate secondary status questionnaire to prompt for any missing signals.

Stage 1 Outputs

Stage 1 produces:

  • Baseline trendline per patient
  • Drift score inputs used by the engine
  • Care continuity log entries
  • Passive provider visibility

These outputs exist even when patients are stable, allowing providers to see what is happening between appointments without requiring manual outreach.


Care Circles in Stage 1

Care Circle participation is optional and consent-based.

  • Care Circle members are verified non-clinical observers
  • Signals are requested in short, structured formats (ex: 1-2-3 check-in)
  • Signals flow one direction only (Care Circle → OutsideINsights)

Care Circle members receive:

  • A simple acknowledgement that their insight was recorded
  • No clinical data, no clinical guidance, no bidirectional discussion

Stage 1 Summary

Stage 1 is designed to be:

  • low friction
  • specialty-agnostic
  • sustainable over long care arcs
  • sensitive enough to detect drift early
