Where does ePHI enter, leave, or persist in the AI workflow?
Healthcare / HIPAA + AI
HIPAA AI Risk Assessment
Assess where AI systems touch ePHI, which vendors and workflows are involved, what safeguards are evidenced, and where the use case creates unresolved security risk.
01 / THE REVIEW QUESTION
Start with the system, data, and decision—not a generic checklist.
AI does not create a separate HIPAA security regime. The practical problem is understanding where ePHI enters an AI-enabled workflow, which parties create, receive, maintain, or transmit it, and whether the safeguards and risk analysis actually cover that environment.
02 / Questions to answer
What a useful assessment should establish.
Which AI providers or subprocessors may function as business associates for the use case?
What administrative, physical, and technical safeguards are evidenced?
Do risk analysis and risk management records include the AI-enabled systems and dependencies?
03 / Assessment scope
What Ayliea examines.
Exact procedures are confirmed in writing before work begins. Technical testing is performed only when explicitly scoped and authorized.
01AI system and ePHI data-flow mapping
02Vendor and business-associate boundary review
03Identity, access, configuration, retention, and logging evidence
04HIPAA Security Rule-relevant mapping where applicable
05Findings, limitations, and remediation priorities
04 / OUTPUT
Evidence and findings another reviewer can follow.
The deliverable separates what was observed or supplied from what was represented, unavailable, untested, or outside scope. That keeps the conclusion useful without overstating what the evidence proves.
System and data-flow record
Evidence register
Risk-ranked findings
Relevant HIPAA safeguard references
Remediation roadmap
Accountable human review
05 / PRIMARY SOURCES
Built around the requirements and guidance that actually matter.
06 / SCOPE THE WORK
Have a real system or review question in mind?
Bring the AI system, the data it touches, the review trigger, and the evidence you already have. Ayliea will determine whether a Review, Assessment, or broader scope fits.
