Reputable AI scribes, like Sully.ai’s AI Scribe, are built to be HIPAA-compliant and support HIPAA-compliant deployments so they can legally handle protected health information (PHI) when used in clinical settings.

Sully.ai will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with covered entities or business associates before processing PHI and applies encryption, access controls and audit logging to protect data. Additionally, the platform’s security program has independent attestations like SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 that demonstrate rigorous privacy and security practices.

With these safeguards in place and clinician review of drafts before finalizing notes, AI scribes can meet healthcare compliance requirements. Always confirm that any AI scribe you use maintains current HIPAA safeguards for your specific workflow.
