Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we look at Google's Gemini AI tool through a HIPAA lens.

We discuss:

• Common use cases for Gemini in a group practice context
• What's covered under the Google Workspace BAA (and what isn't)
• Ethical and legal considerations for using PHI with AI tools
• Informed consent for clients when AI tools are used for clinical documentation
• Establishing a Gemini usage policy for your practice
