Avo Announces Enhanced HIPAA Security on OpenAI and Azure Platforms

NEW YORK, NY - February 29th, 2024 – Avo, a clinician support platform that brings medical evidence into the workflow to save clinicians time, today announced it has achieved enhanced HIPAA security by signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with OpenAI, in addition to its existing agreement with Microsoft Azure.

By signing a BAA with OpenAI, Avo will utilize the company's innovative GPT-4 Turbo model within its platform, adhering strictly to a zero retention policy that ensures no patient data is stored or used beyond the current instance. This groundbreaking step elevates Avo’s commitment to HIPAA compliance across its services, allowing enterprise customers to choose between OpenAI and Microsoft Azure.

In addition to Avo's enterprise offering, which includes integrating Avo into the EHR, clinicians can also use Avo's free tools for clinical pathways, documentation assistance, and calculators on Avo’s browser-based tool and mobile app. With this new OpenAI agreement in place, Avo free users can safely and compliantly paste patient information into Avo's free tools. For example, clinicians can use one of Avo's most popular tools for inpatient settings, History and Physical Examination (H&P) Builder, to quickly produce a note based on the patient's history in the format they prefer.

Avo Co-Founder and Head of Product and Engineering, Dr. Joongheum Park expressed his enthusiasm stating, "Data privacy and security are crucial to Avo and toi our customers. This agreement with OpenAI furthers our commitment to equip clinicians with cutting-edge tools that are both convenient and HIPAA compliant. OpenAI's GPT-4 will enable us to produce more efficient and more accurate tools to solve difficult problems for clinicians and reduce burnout."
