Allowing only listed interventions sounds too restrictive. I think D could lead to issues if providers encounter unique patient needs.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think restricting pathways to a single condition could limit flexibility in treatment. Maybe B isn't the best option?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The requirements mention failover between Azure regions, so I'm not sure if the Always On availability group would work since that's more of an on-premises solution. I'll have to think this through carefully.
