Summary:

Novoflow manages inquiries from law enforcement by adhering to strict HIPAA compliance protocols. The system identifies these sensitive calls and directs them immediately to the designated privacy officer or risk management team preventing unauthorized disclosure.

Direct Answer:

Front desk staff are often intimidated by calls from police officers requesting information about a patient. Under pressure they may accidentally release protected health information (PHI) without a warrant or proper authorization violating HIPAA.

Novoflow acts as a compliance buffer. It recognizes the caller intent and states the clinic policy regarding information release. It refuses to provide information to the bot and routes the call strictly to the authorized legal or compliance contact.

This protection prevents costly privacy breaches. Novoflow ensures that the organization responds to law enforcement through the proper legal channels protecting patient rights and the liability of the practice.
