Description

Artificial intelligence tools are now embedded in the everyday operations of healthcare organizations, billing, transcription, records management, and more, and every one of them that touches your electronic medical records is expanding your legal exposure. Privacy lawsuits targeting healthcare AI tools are already being filed, and the organizations named in them are discovering, too late, that their vendor agreements never contemplated AI at all. If your contracts were signed before AI became prevalent, your protections are almost certainly out of date.

The regulatory picture makes this worse, not better. State and federal AI rules are evolving rapidly and inconsistently, leaving administrators, compliance officers, and executives to manage a moving target. The organizations that will avoid expensive AI-driven privacy litigation are the ones that act now: auditing how AI actually accesses patient data, renegotiating legacy vendor agreements, and building AI-specific safeguards into their privacy compliance programs.

In this 60-minute session, the General Counsel of the Coalition for Health AI, formerly Regulatory Strategy and Compliance Manager for Mayo Clinic Platform, delivers plain-English tactics to uncover hidden AI access to your records, reduce liability from existing contracts, negotiate stronger terms with dominant vendors, and apply five essential questions before signing any AI agreement. Leaders who wait until the first demand letter arrives will pay for this education in settlement dollars instead.

After this webinar attendees will be able to answer-

• How exactly is AI accessing your patients' electronic medical records through billing, transcription, and records-management tools, often without your full awareness?
• Why are your existing vendor contracts, signed before AI became prevalent, now a source of uncontrolled legal liability?
• Which state and federal AI regulations are already in force, and how do you keep your privacy compliance program ahead of them?
• What are the five questions your organization must answer before signing any AI contract?
• How do you negotiate stronger AI protections against dominant vendors that present take-it-or-leave-it agreements?
• How should AI protections be built into your privacy and HIPAA compliance program, rather than bolted on after an incident?
• What steps reduce privacy risk from the AI implementations your organization will inevitably adopt next?
