AI software and Legal Compliance in a Pedorthic Setting
This session is essential for pedorthists, practice managers, and business owners navigating the rapidly evolving intersection of AI and healthcare law. Legal expert Sophie McKenzie from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers will guide you through the December 2024 amendments to the Privacy Act, outlining new compliance requirements, data security obligations, and the implications for daily practice.
You’ll gain practical strategies to protect patient privacy, avoid legal risks, and integrate compliant processes into your business. The session will also highlight findings from recent research on AI in allied health, discussing the benefits and drawbacks from both patient and practitioner perspectives, and exploring how to balance efficiency with ethical and legal responsibilities.
