HIPAA Compliance in AI Documentation: What Clinicians Need to Know

The Security Question Every Clinician Should Ask

Before using any AI tool with patient data, the first question should be: "Is this HIPAA compliant?" Unfortunately, many popular AI tools—including ChatGPT—are not designed for healthcare use and could put your practice at risk.

What HIPAA Compliance Actually Requires

True HIPAA compliance isn't just about encryption. It requires comprehensive administrative, physical, and technical safeguards:

• Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all vendors handling PHI

• End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest

• Access controls and audit logging

• Regular security assessments and employee training

• Breach notification procedures

How Psynopsis Approaches Security

Psynopsis was built with healthcare security as a foundation, not an afterthought. We maintain SOC 2 Type II compliance, sign BAAs with all customers, and never use patient data for model training.

Your clinical data remains yours. Period.

Red Flags in AI Documentation Tools

Watch out for AI tools that:

• Won't sign a BAA

• Store data on servers outside your control

• Use patient data to improve their models

• Can't provide clear security documentation

• Don't have healthcare-specific compliance certifications

Documentation Without Compromise

You shouldn't have to choose between efficient documentation and patient privacy. Psynopsis delivers both—enterprise-grade security with the speed your practice needs.
