The v45 AI and Clinical Risk Readiness Toolkit

Four board-ready documents for pregnancy medical clinics preparing for the artificial intelligence expectations AAAHC published for public comment in the proposed v45 Standards.

AAAHC opened public comment on the proposed v45 Standards in March 2026. The final handbook has not yet published, and the proposals remain subject to change — but the direction is visible, and the expectations are written to be surveyable. Clinics that build their records before publication will meet the survey with evidence already in hand.

Delivered by email as four Word documents — model language for board adoption. Every bracketed field requires your organization’s input, and policies should be reviewed with your board and counsel before approval. Sent once, on request — requesting it subscribes you to nothing. Educational use only; not legal advice. AAAHC v45 content reflects proposed standards published for public comment and remains subject to change until the final handbook is issued.

What’s inside

  • AI Governance Policy Package — Covered Entity Edition. Six adoptable policies for clinics that bill Medicaid or private insurance and are HIPAA covered entities: AI governance and responsible use, generative AI acceptable use, and the supporting procedures a governing body can approve.
  • AI Governance Policy Package — Voluntary Alignment Edition. The same six policies, written for licensed medical clinics that do not bill insurance and voluntarily align their practices with the standards of the HIPAA Security Rule.
  • v45 AI and Clinical Risk Readiness Assessment — Covered Entity Edition. Sixty-five questions organized on the six AI principles AAAHC published for public comment, extended to regulatory status and public claims, clinical device storage, vendor governance, waived testing, continuity, and quality improvement.
  • v45 AI and Clinical Risk Readiness Assessment — Voluntary Alignment Edition. The same sixty-five questions, framed for voluntarily aligned clinics.
