It identifies a systemic failure where the unpaid labor of managing complex, overlapping medical conditions currently falls on the sickest patients. By using standardized process notation to map individual diseases, the model creates a "portfolio" of plans that software agents weave together on a shared digital surface. This framework specifically addresses clinical conflicts—such as contradictory treatments for a patient with both cancer and heart failure—by making these interactions visible and manageable. While software handles the logistical sequencing and data reconciliation, the model preserves human accountability by placing a lead clinician in control of the final integrated plan. Ultimately, the proposal seeks to transform coordination from an invisible, heroic effort into a governed and instrumented system.
