Section titled “Concept”Amazon Connect Health is a HIPAA eligible agentic AI solution built specially for healthcare, which works alongside healthcare teams to handle patient communication, work at the point of care, and billing and payments (revenue cycle). Agentic AI means AI that does not just give answers, but can also do multi-step work by itself. HIPAA is the US law for protecting health information; HIPAA eligible means it is suitable for working with patient data while following this law. According to the official documentation, it is used for patient engagement, help at the point of care, and connecting with a hospital’s electronic health record (EHR) system. This is a brand-new AWS service, so few details about it have been published so far.
