HIPAA Compliance in the Age of AI

AI initiatives only succeed in healthcare when privacy controls are embedded from dataset design to production monitoring.

Catalog where PHI lives, who touches it, and which vendor systems process it. Every integration should have a documented lawful basis and retention schedule.

Use automated scrubbing and tokenization before data leaves secure enclaves. Preserve context through synthetic identifiers so downstream models remain accurate.

Grant least privilege across engineering, data science, and vendor teams. Monitor usage, rotate credentials, and enforce just-in-time access for sensitive datasets.

Automate evidence collection for policies, risk assessments, and incident response drills. Regulators and enterprise partners expect audit-ready documentation.
