Creating a Concept Map

A concept map from AI readiness to measurable change.

Examining whether targeted AI education and training can improve readiness for change among personnel involved in medical readiness workflows.

PICOT Question: For Marine Logistics Group medical team members and personnel involved in medical readiness workflows, will an AI education/training intervention focused on staff readiness, perceived barriers, training needs, and feasible AI use cases improve readiness for change for AI-supported workflows within 12 weeks?

Application

Leader-Facing Planning Insight

Findings guide future education, adoption planning, governance, and realistic AI use-case development.

Concept map logic: population and context establish the baseline, the education intervention targets readiness barriers, the posttest measures change, and the findings translate into planning insight for AI-supported medical readiness workflows.

Independent Variable

The AI education and training intervention.

Dependent Variable

Readiness-for-change score after the intervention.

Comparison

Baseline readiness score before education.

Process Variables

Perceived barriers, training needs, confidence, trust, and workflow relevance.
