We require appropriate contractual protections for the information these providers handle.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including ambient listening technology, to help prepare medical notes. These tools may capture and process audio from conversations during your visit through service providers acting on our behalf under business associate agreements.
Before activating ambient listening, we will explain its use and ask for your agreement. You may decline or ask us to stop without affecting your ability to receive care. Your clinician reviews AI-generated notes before finalizing them in your medical record.
Using our website, providing your phone number, or accepting this Privacy Policy does not constitute agreement to ambient listening or recording during a medical visit.
