Essay, 8 min read

Is an AI medical scribe HIPAA compliant?

The vendor can be HIPAA compliant. Your use of it is a separate question. What a business associate agreement covers, what your risk analysis has to include, and why HIPAA is not the law most likely to catch you.

Check yourself

What does a vendor's HIPAA compliance tell you about your own?

Very little. The vendor's status covers the vendor. Your risk analysis and your use of the tool are yours.

Which law does the essay say is more likely to catch a practice than HIPAA?

State recording consent law, which follows where the patient is, not where the clinic is.
