⚕️ Healthcare AI Readiness

HIPAA tells you how to store patient data. It doesn't tell you how to build AI with it.

Clinical AI introduces governance requirements that standard HIPAA compliance frameworks weren't designed to address. PHI in training pipelines, model bias in diagnostic decisions, and explainability for clinicians — these need dedicated readiness work before you deploy.

Healthcare AI fails at the governance layer, not the model layer.

Data Governance

PHI in AI Training Pipelines

Using protected health information to train or fine-tune models requires documented de-identification procedures, consent management, and lineage tracking. Most healthcare organizations haven't built these controls.

Clinical Safety

Model Explainability for Clinicians

Clinical staff need to understand why an AI made a recommendation before acting on it. Black-box models in diagnostic or triage workflows create liability risk and erode clinician trust — and regulatory trust.

Compliance

Audit-Ready AI Documentation

OCR, Joint Commission, and state regulators are increasingly scrutinizing AI systems in clinical settings. If you can't produce documentation on model training data, validation methodology, and bias testing, you're exposed.

Compliance Frameworks

We speak your regulatory language.

AI in healthcare intersects with multiple overlapping regulatory frameworks. Praxient's readiness assessments are built around the governance requirements that matter in clinical environments.

HIPAA

Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act

PHI handling in training data, de-identification standards (Safe Harbor vs. Expert Determination), and Business Associate Agreement requirements for AI vendors.

FDA SaMD

Software as a Medical Device (AI/ML)

FDA's framework for AI/ML-based clinical decision support tools. Pre-determined change control plans, performance monitoring, and transparency requirements.

ONC

Office of the National Coordinator — AI Framework

Interoperability requirements, clinical decision support transparency rules, and information-blocking provisions that affect how AI systems integrate with EHRs.

HHS AI

HHS AI Strategy & Responsible Use

Departmental AI governance policy covering bias testing requirements, equity audits for clinical AI, and documentation standards for federally-funded healthcare organizations.

The same four disciplines — applied to clinical AI.

01

Healthcare Data Readiness Audit

Assess your EHR data quality, PHI governance controls, and pipeline architecture against what clinical AI actually needs. Includes de-identification readiness and data lineage documentation review.

02

Clinical AI Use Case Prioritization

Not all clinical AI is equal risk. We rank use cases by regulatory complexity, data availability, and clinical impact — separating high-value, low-friction wins from high-risk projects that need more groundwork.

03

HIPAA-Aligned Governance Framework

Build the governance layer your clinical AI needs: model card documentation, bias and disparity testing protocols, explainability standards for clinical staff, and audit trail requirements.

04

Compliant AI Adoption Roadmap

A phased deployment plan that sequences regulatory groundwork before model development — ensuring you're building on a foundation that will hold under OCR scrutiny, Joint Commission review, or payor audit.
