Artificial Intelligence (AI): Compliance Considerations for Health Centers | Compliance Summer Camp 2026

These trainings are Week 5 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series.

Session 1: Understanding AI in the Health Center Environment: Applications, Privacy, and Security Risks | Tuesday, August 4 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET

Artificial intelligence tools are entering health center operations at a rapid pace, from clinical decision support and ambient documentation technology to administrative automation, patient communication platforms, and revenue cycle management. Many health centers are already using AI-enabled tools without a full understanding of the legal, regulatory, and operational risks those tools carry. This webinar provides health center leaders, compliance officers, and clinical staff with a grounded introduction to how AI is being used in health center settings, what data privacy and security obligations apply when AI tools interact with protected health information, and what steps health centers should take to evaluate and govern AI tools before and after adoption. Particular attention is given to the intersection of AI use with HIPAA, 42 C.F.R. Part 2 (for health centers with substance use disorder programs), and emerging federal and state regulatory frameworks governing AI in health care. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of the privacy and security landscape and a framework for assessing AI tools before deployment.

Learning Objectives

• Explain the federal laws and regulations that apply to AI tools that involve protected health information
• Identify how state laws are impacting the use of AI tools in health care
• Develop a framework for evaluating AI tools prior to adoption, including key contract considerations for AI vendors

Session 2: AI, Malpractice, and Legal Liability at Health Centers: Navigating Risk in a Rapidly Changing Landscape | Thursday, August 6 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET

As health centers integrate artificial intelligence into clinical workflows, a new and still-evolving set of legal liability questions follows close behind, including:

• When an AI-assisted clinical decision contributes to a patient harm, who is responsible?
• How does the Federal Tort Claims Act deeming program interact with AI-related malpractice claims?
• What governance and documentation obligations should health center boards and leadership understand as AI becomes embedded in care delivery?

This webinar will address the malpractice, corporate liability, and governance risks that AI adoption creates for health centers. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of the current liability landscape, the limitations of existing legal frameworks in addressing AI-specific risks, and the practical steps health centers can take now to reduce exposure while the law continues to develop.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the malpractice liability risks related to the use of AI tools in clinical settings.
• Identify additional legal and regulatory risks associated with AI adoption at health centers
• Describe the board and leadership responsibilities related to AI adoption, including the role of compliance programs and policies in managing AI risk
