Illustrative scenarios · composites, not clients
The front desk found a shortcut. It shouldn't have been there.
Front-desk AI use meets health information. Hero would assess it, train the team, and write clear rules people can follow.
At a glance: Ontario multi-practitioner clinic · 8–25 staff · Security assessment → security training → AI use policy
The situation
A busy clinic with a stretched front desk. A well-meaning team member started using a free AI chatbot to draft appointment-reminder wording and summarize long patient emails. It saved time. It also meant some patient details may have gone into a consumer tool with no business agreement in place.
The friction
- Patient information is the most sensitive data the clinic holds.
- The shortcut solved a real problem. Take it away with nothing in its place and the workload comes straight back.
- The owner doesn't know what was shared, where, or what to do next.
- Vendor marketing is confusing. Every tool claims to be "secure."
What Hero would do
| Branch | What Hero would do |
|---|---|
| AI security | An AI security assessment: interviews with the owner and the front desk, an inventory of every AI tool in use, a review of the clinic's existing email and practice-software admin settings, and a sketch of where patient information flows. The ranked findings start with what to stop today, then a 90-day plan. Then a written AI use policy: an approved-tool list, a never-paste list, and the rule that patient communications use generic templates with no patient details in the AI tool. Questions for the clinic's privacy officer and software vendor are listed separately. |
| Training | AI security training for the front desk and practitioners: the never-paste list (names, health card numbers, clinical details), how to write a reminder template with no patient data in it, how to spot a phishing-style AI trick, and who to ask when unsure. |
The outcome
What changed (qualitative):
- The risky shortcut stopped, and staff know the safe way to get the same help.
- Staff know exactly what's allowed and who to ask.
- The owner has written findings and a policy to show their privacy officer, instead of guessing.
- Where something needs formal legal or privacy review, the clinic hears that plainly and early.
