In today’s digital healthcare environment, compliance isn’t optional. Whether in the USA under HIPAA or in Canada under PIPEDA, protecting patient data is a top priority for any transcription platform.

Conclusion
Choosing an AI scribe without compliance puts your practice at risk. A platform built with HIPAA and PIPEDA standards ensures your practice is future-proof and secure.
