Open the original
What it measures
The compliance page lists three paths: local-only, cloud models, and bring-your-own-key. This fact covers only the first path, in which the models run on the computer.
What it does not show
This is the vendor's claim about its own local setup. Other paths use other contracts, and this page does not make the setup HIPAA compliant by itself: the clinic still has to secure the computer.
