A structured worksheet for identifying PHI exposure questions in healthcare AI workflows.

analyzerPublished 2026/06/08Last verified 2026/06/08

FAQs

Does a low-risk worksheet result mean the tool is HIPAA compliant?
No. The worksheet only helps organize questions. HIPAA and security conclusions depend on the organization, vendor contract, safeguards, and implementation.
Can this be used for AI scribe tools?
Yes, as a starting point. AI scribe tools often involve encounter audio, transcripts, summaries, and EHR writeback, so PHI handling should be reviewed carefully.

The PHI Use Risk Analyzer helps teams map where protected health information may enter a healthcare AI workflow. It is a review worksheet, not a legal opinion or security certification.

Review prompts

  • What data types enter the tool, and who initiates the transfer?
  • Does the vendor store PHI, process it transiently, or send it to subprocessors?
  • Is PHI used for product improvement, model training, support, logging, or analytics?
  • Can the organization disable retention, secondary use, or human review of PHI?
  • Are audit logs, access controls, deletion timelines, and breach notification terms documented?

Suggested use

Create a row for each workflow step. Mark the data involved, vendor role, contract evidence, unresolved questions, and owner for follow-up. Pair this worksheet with a BAA review and security assessment before production use.
