AI is everywhere in healthcare — from drafting patient emails to writing contracts and even planning staff policies. But here’s the problem: AI use in healthcare comes with hidden legal risks, and the rules are changing fast as we approach 2026. One wrong prompt could expose patient data, violate HIPAA, or create a compliance headache that costs thousands.

Most clinic owners, medspa operators, and telehealth startups don’t realize how much legal exposure they create when they casually copy and paste sensitive information into AI. Regulators are paying attention, and lawsuits are already starting to land. The good news? You don’t need to stop using AI. You just need a framework that keeps you legally safe while still benefiting from everything ChatGPT can do.

These aren’t abstract theories — they’re practical steps his law firm uses every single day when working with clinics. You’ll see exactly how to future-proof your AI use so you can stay compliant, secure, and efficient while avoiding the traps that sink careless owners.
