An AI scribe is fit for a HIPAA-covered practice when the vendor signs a business associate agreement and protects the data with the safeguards the Security Rule asks for, encryption, access control and audit logs. wai is designed for practices covered by HIPAA and signs a business associate agreement with your practice before anything goes live.
HIPAA has no certification, so readiness also depends on your practice's role, the signed agreements and your operating controls. wai holds a SOC 2 Type II report, sent on request.
