PHI Moves Through Many Channels

Patient data can appear in prompts, documents, summaries, retrieved context, tool outputs, and model responses. Controls must inspect more than chat input.

Workforce Governance

Clinical, support, billing, and operations teams need approved AI workflows and policy coaching. Preventing unmanaged PHI exposure should be a core adoption requirement.

Knowledge Assistants

RAG systems for policies, benefits, or clinical guidance should verify source trust, enforce access rights, and prevent over-disclosure.

Evidence and Minimization

Healthcare AI security must prove controls worked while minimizing retained sensitive content. Decision logs should support review without becoming a new PHI risk.
