Effective:
Jun 22, 2026
Risk tier:
sector-specific
Scope:
All healthcare providers and healthcare facilities that employ AI to document in-person or telehealth visits. "Healthcare provider" covers physicians, physician assistants, dentists, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, nursing assistants, and any other healthcare professional licensed by the director of the department of health; "healthcare facility" takes the meaning in § 23-17-2. "Artificial intelligence" is defined expansively as any technology that can simulate human intelligence, including natural language processing, training language models, RLHF, and machine learning systems (§ 23-108-2)
high-impactsleeper
The chapter links two duties for healthcare providers and facilities using AI to document in-person or telehealth visits: notify patients of that documentation use and review the resulting documentation for accuracy after the visit. The phrase "for that sole purpose" describes the documentation use; this chapter does not establish duties for diagnosis or triage. Section 23-108-3 requires review, without specifying an attestation step. The linked duties are modelled as one provision.
