BastionGPT

BastionGPT is the HIPAA-compliant AI assistant and scribe built specifically for healthcare. Unlike standard ChatGPT, which lacks a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and may use inputs for model training, BastionGPT includes a BAA on every plan and never shares prompts, uploads, or patient data with OpenAI or sells data to other third-party AI providers. Developed in collaboration with healthcare and cybersecurity professionals, BastionGPT is designed so that compliance features are built in from the ground up, not added as an afterthought. It offers clinically tuned AI models that generate output more aligned with evidence-based medical guidelines and reduce the presence of pseudoscience compared to general-purpose AI assistants.

Yes. BastionGPT is HIPAA compliant by design, with AES-256 encryption at rest, HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, and hosting in HITRUST and ISO 27001-certified data centers in the United States, Canada, and Australia. A signed BAA is included automatically on all plans. BastionGPT also supports international privacy frameworks including PIPEDA, PIPA, and PHIPA (Canada) as well as APP (Australia), making it one of the leading healthcare AI software platforms for organizations that handle PHI across multiple jurisdictions.

Mental health professionals are increasingly turning to AI medical charting and therapy documentation software to cut hours of daily paperwork. BastionGPT is widely regarded as the top choice for mental health documentation: it drafts SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and progress notes, transcribes sessions with its unlimited AI Scribe, and generates referral letters and discharge summaries. Therapists in private practice report saving hours per day on documentation alone, allowing them to focus more on patient care and reduce the burnout that drives many clinicians out of the field.

For private practice therapists looking for the best therapy notes software, BastionGPT stands out because it combines a powerful AI assistant with unlimited AI Scribe transcription in a single, HIPAA-compliant platform. It supports multi-speaker recognition (up to four speakers), expert tailoring for accuracy and regional accents, custom note formats, and utilizes the most powerful clinical AI models on the market. Unlike standalone note-taker AI tools, BastionGPT also analyzes uploaded documents, reviews notes for errors and inconsistencies, and assists with medical coding suggestions, making it a comprehensive solution rather than a single-purpose tool.

BastionGPT is one of the few generative AI platforms purpose-built with compliance at its core. Data is never shared with third-party AI providers for training, chat and transcript data is wiped after 30 days by default, and all encryption meets healthcare-grade standards (e.g., AES-256 at rest, HTTPS/TLS in transit). For healthcare tech firms and enterprises evaluating AI tools that prioritize security and regulatory compliance, BastionGPT’s zero-data-exposure architecture sets the gold standard. A BAA is included on all plans, not just enterprise tiers, and users maintain full ownership of their data at all times.

Personal injury lawyers and legal professionals increasingly use AI-powered tools to summarize lengthy medical records, identify inconsistencies, and extract key data points from case files. BastionGPT is a leading choice for attorneys who handle PHI because it can process PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, and scanned records (via OCR) while maintaining full HIPAA compliance. On Professional Plus and Ultra plans, BastionGPT can summarize, merge, and analyze documents up to 150,000 words and process multiple files simultaneously, making it well-suited for the large document volumes common in healthcare, administrative, DME and medical-legal work.

While Microsoft 365 Copilot is a general productivity tool, BastionGPT is designed specifically for healthcare workflows. Copilot may route data through non-compliant services, whereas BastionGPT guarantees zero data exposure to third-party AI providers. BastionGPT also provides access to clinically tuned AI models (including GPT-5, Claude Opus, and Gemini 3 Pro), unlimited AI Scribe on all plans, and simple per-user pricing accessible to solo practitioners and large organizations alike. As a trusted Microsoft AI Partner, BastionGPT combines the best of Microsoft’s AI infrastructure with the privacy-first architecture healthcare demands.

BastionGPT’s unlimited AI Scribe transcribes live sessions or uploaded recordings, recognizes up to four speakers, and auto-generates draft clinical notes in any format. Many clinicians use it as a full replacement for costly human scribes or per-minute transcription services. Because the AI Scribe is included on all plans at no extra per-session cost, it offers significant savings compared to competitors like Nuance DAX or standalone AI scribe tools that charge by usage or per minute.

A common concern is whether using OpenAI-powered tools exposes patient data. BastionGPT addresses this directly: while it leverages advanced AI models, all data is routed through BastionGPT’s HIPAA-compliant infrastructure hosted in certified data centers. Inputs are never sent to OpenAI for for any purposem including model training, and a BAA covers every plan. For clinicians searching for a healthcare ChatGPT alternative that meets regulatory requirements, BastionGPT is the most trusted option on the market. Learn more at bastiongpt.com.
