AI GOVERNANCE FOR HEALTHCARE PRACTICES
The AI your practice is already using has no policy, no oversight, and no one in charge of it.

For most practices the honest answer is: nobody. Someone on your front desk is using it to draft patient messages. Your biller is using it to write appeal letters. At least one provider is using it for documentation. None of them asked permission because there is no policy that covers it.
That is not a technology problem. It is a governance gap. And it is the kind of gap that stays invisible until a violation makes it visible.

AI Safety Guide for Independent Healthcare Practices
Google can tell you that HIPAA applies to AI. This guide tells you exactly which roles in your practice are exposed, what each person is allowed to do, and the specific steps to take in the first 24 hours if a violation occurs — written for independent practices, not hospital compliance departments.
Includes: role-by-role acceptable use policy. BAA requirement checklist by tool type. Violation response protocol with exact notification timeline. Staff training outline. Governance policy template ready to sign.

WHAT GOVERNANCE ACTUALLY MEANS IN A PRACTICE
It is not about banning tools.
It is about knowing what is happening inside your practice and owning it.
Which tools require a Business Associate Agreement.
Not every AI tool that touches patient information requires a BAA. But some do. And using one without a BAA in place is a HIPAA violation regardless of whether any data was mishandled.
What your staff is allowed to put into an AI prompt.
Patient name, date of birth, diagnosis, and insurance information are all PHI. Putting any of them into a non-BAA-covered tool without a policy is a violation in progress. Most practices have no written guidance on this for any role.
What happens in the first 24 hours if something goes wrong.
HIPAA breach notification has a specific timeline and a specific set of required actions. Most independent practices do not have a written response protocol. The AI Safety Guide includes one, built specifically for practices without a compliance department.

If the checklist surfaces an exposure, the AI Safety Guide gives you the complete framework to close it. If the exposure is deeper than a framework can fix, that is exactly what a Revenue Recovery Session is for.
