      RE: AI and HIPAA?

      Posted in: Open Forum

      Hi Kristin, First off: disclaimer that I am not a lawyer, this is just my opinion on the matter! Veterinary clinics are generally not subject to HIPAA because this body of law is targeted at human healthcare services. Nonetheless, there are some ...

      Hi! We recently crawled out of the 1900's when the radio in our treatment room finally died and was replaced with an EcoDot... Since the doctors record their AI Scribe in the same room, the concern came up regarding having an EcoDot in the hospital in ...
