⚠️ The Problem

On January 16, 2025, HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued new guidance requiring healthcare practices to demonstrate meaningful physician oversight of AI-generated clinical notes.

Practices using AI scribes (Abridge, Nuance DAX, Nabla) without documented compliance processes face HIPAA violation fines starting at $50,000+ per incident.

Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with AI Vendor
