List privacy issues for a practice that wants a clinical scribe
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- List whether the practice is described as a covered entity, what protected health information the scribe would receive, and what the papers say about a breach. Do not classify the product and do not write the advice letter.
- What the lawyer must review
- You write the advice. 45 CFR § 164.502 bars a use or disclosure the subpart does not permit. The HHS covered-entity page is the starting point for whether the practice or the vendor is a covered entity or a business associate. The HHS breach page requires notice without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery, and media notice when more than 500 residents of a State or jurisdiction are affected. Formal Opinion 512 applies to client information the scribe would receive. The required terms of a business-associate contract in § 164.504(e) were not opened.
