Introduction: As artificial intelligence transforms enterprise operations, marketing leaders face the critical challenge of transitioning from passive technology adoption to structured, measurable execution. The Australian Centre for AI in Marketing (ACAM) framework addresses this gap through benchmark-driven readiness assessments and localized agent workflow deployment strategies. This analysis details how organizations can systematically audit their AI maturity, architect secure local and cloud-hybrid automation pipelines, and govern operational execution for sustainable competitive advantage.

Background: Virtual consultations (VCs), including telephone and video consultations, are increasingly central to primary care. However, evaluation often prioritizes patient satisfaction or technology over quality and safety. Existing frameworks incorporate limited input from general practitioners (GPs) and lack standardized quality and safety indicators. Objective: This study aimed to explore GPs’ perspectives on the relevance and #usability of a prototype tool for evaluating the quality and safety of VCs and to inform its subsequent refinement and development. Methods: A total of 3 online focus groups (N=14 GPs) were conducted in June 2025. Participants were recruited via professional networks and social media using convenience and snowball sampling. Discussions were guided by a mock tool prototype and a structured topic guide. Transcripts were analyzed inductively after each focus group using a combined deductive and inductive approach by 2 independent researchers. Results: GPs considered the tool relevant and timely, particularly as a reflective and quality improvement resource for early-career clinicians. For #usability, participants preferred a combination of Likert scale and open-ended responses, emphasizing local adaptability and integration into existing workflows to minimize burden. Suggestions for practical implementation included a web-based format linked to electronic health records and alignment with professional development or incentive schemes (eg, the Quality and Outcomes Framework). Conclusions: GPs supported a structured yet flexible VC evaluation tool that is user-centered, locally relevant, and embedded within routine practice. These findings provide a foundation for further refinement, #usability testing, and real-world piloting to ensure safe and high-quality VCs in primary care.
