MEC pilot programs are intended to test operational value, security requirements, user experience, and measurable outcomes in a controlled environment.
| Phase | Focus | Typical Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1-2 | Pilot design | Define use case, participant group, success metrics, workflow, responsibilities. |
| Weeks 3-4 | Security & operational review | Review access model, privacy expectations, technical requirements, internal approvals. |
| Weeks 5-6 | Enrollment & training | Enroll participants, configure access, train participating staff, run initial simulations. |
| Weeks 7-18 | Pilot operation | Use approved workflow, conduct simulations, monitor activity, collect metrics. |
| Weeks 19-20 | Analysis & decision | Review results and decide whether to expand, modify, integrate, or stop. |
Compare the MEC workflow to the organization's current process.
Measure staff steps, handoffs, and time spent locating contacts.
