Definition
A regulatory framework governing the security and privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI) in RAG pipelines, requiring strict data residency, end-to-end encryption, and formal Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with LLM and vector database providers. Architectural trade-offs often include higher operational costs and increased latency due to the necessity of private VPC deployments and PII scrubbing overhead.
Focuses on the technical infrastructure and legal compliance of data handling rather than the clinical accuracy of the AI's medical output.
"A digital clean room where every AI agent must pass through a de-contamination airlock (PII masking) and work inside a sealed, audited vault."
