Summary
Preserves licensed clinical judgment, prohibits autonomous performance of licensed clinical functions, and extends medical-information confidentiality law to qualifying consumer healthcare chatbots.
Healthcare Implications
Covered care settings must preserve professional judgment when using clinical AI. Routine nonjudgment documentation is excluded; supervised trainees remain permitted. Chatbot businesses gain confidentiality duties.
Operational Implications
- Covered facilities and practices may not deploy AI to independently perform licensed clinical functions or direct unlicensed staff to perform them; supervised training and nonjudgment administrative uses are excepted.
