AI GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK FOR HEALTHCARE CONTACT CENTER

Implementing AI Risk Assessment Framework at Healthcare Organization

Context

Served as an Individual Contributor in the Knowledge Management team at Tessera Group Health, a healthcare organization. Led AI governance assessment for Amazon Connect Contact Lens implementation across customer service operations supporting 1300+ representatives (2025).

Challenge

Tessera Group Health was implementing Amazon Connect Contact Lens to analyze customer service calls using AI. The organization had no existing AI governance framework, and leadership was pushing for rapid deployment without considering HIPAA compliance risks, change management issues, and data security concerns.

Initial implementation plans included:

  • Real-time AI transcription of calls containing Protected Health Information (PHI)

  • Sentiment analysis of member conversations about medical conditions

  • No documented data handling procedures for AI-processed healthcare information

  • Unclear data retention and access controls for AI-generated insights

  • Restrictive editing capabilities for AI-generated interaction documentation

Without intervention, the organization risked HIPAA violations, regulatory penalties, potential exposure of member health information through inadequately secured AI systems, and potentially erroneous PHI in their permanent record.

Approach

I developed a comprehensive AI governance and risk assessment framework specifically for healthcare AI implementation:

Conducted stakeholder analysis across Information Technology, Quality Assurance, Customer Service Operations, and Leadership to understand implementation plans and identify knowledge gaps about AI-specific risks in healthcare contexts.

Built risk assessment framework documenting:

  • Data flow mapping (where PHI enters AI systems, how it's processed, where it's stored)

  • HIPAA compliance requirements for AI transcription and analysis

  • Access control requirements for AI-generated insights

  • Data retention and deletion policies for AI-processed information

Created governance documentation including:

  • AI system usage policies for customer service representatives, including correction of AI-Generated information

  • Quality assurance procedures for AI transcription accuracy in medical contexts

  • Incident response procedures for AI-related data exposure

  • Training requirements for staff using AI tools with PHI

Identified critical implementation gaps and escalated to leadership with specific risk documentation, technical requirements, and recommended security controls before deployment.

Results

Prevented premature deployment by documenting specific HIPAA compliance gaps requiring resolution before launch

  • Established reusable AI governance framework applicable to future AI implementations across organization

  • Created documentation standards for AI system evaluation in healthcare contexts

  • Built cross-functional awareness of AI-specific compliance requirements among IT, operations, and leadership teams

  • Positioned organization to implement AI tools responsibly with proper security controls and compliance measures

Framework is now being used as template for evaluating additional AI tools and serves as organizational standard for healthcare AI governance.
