HIPAA Compliance for AI Tools
Healthcare teams use AI daily — summarizing notes, drafting communications, researching treatments. But every prompt is a potential HIPAA violation if it contains Protected Health Information (PHI). TeamPrompt scans prompts in real time and blocks PHI before it reaches any AI tool.
The AI risk for HIPAA
Patient names in prompts
Staff copy-paste patient records into AI for summarization, exposing names, DOBs, and medical record numbers.
Diagnosis codes shared
ICD-10 codes and treatment plans sent to AI tools for research or documentation assistance.
No audit trail
Without logging, there's no way to demonstrate compliance to auditors or respond to breach investigations.
Shadow AI usage
Clinicians use unapproved AI tools without IT knowledge, creating unmonitored data exposure paths.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is TeamPrompt itself HIPAA compliant?
TeamPrompt scans prompts in your browser before they reach any AI tool. In metadata-only mode, we never store the prompt text — only action, tool, and timestamp. For full HIPAA compliance, enable metadata-only logging in Settings → Security.
Can we use ChatGPT with HIPAA?
ChatGPT's Team and Enterprise plans offer data controls, but they don't prevent employees from pasting PHI. TeamPrompt adds a pre-send scanning layer that catches PHI regardless of which AI tool is used.
How fast is the scanning?
Scanning typically adds under 200ms to message submission. The extension intercepts the send event, scans against your HIPAA rules, and either allows or blocks — all before the text reaches the AI provider.
What if we need to discuss patient cases with AI?
Use TeamPrompt's auto-redaction feature. It replaces PHI with safe placeholders like [PATIENT] and [DIAGNOSIS], letting the AI understand the clinical context without exposing real patient data.
