State laws on AI in clinical settings, federal oversight, litigation, and what health centers report from their own deployments.
OpenAI connected ChatGPT for Healthcare to Epic on September 1, with UCSF Health as pilot partner; no source says whether OCHIN Epic health centers can use it.

AAAHC's v45 accreditation standards add AI governance expectations for surveys on or after December 15, 2026. In a survey of 784 health center patients, 64% were uncomfortable with AI in their care and 70% want to be told when it is used.
