Compliance & Responsible AI

Regulatory sourcing

Guidance is grounded in publicly available authoritative sources so that every answer can be verified independently.

• 42 CFR Part 483 and related federal regulations
• CMS State Operations Manual, including Appendix PP and F-Tag guidance
• CMS memoranda and survey and certification letters
• Published state licensure regulations across all 50 states and DC
• Recognized clinical and infection-prevention practice standards

Citation standard

Answers surface the specific regulation, tag, or guidance document they rely on. If a question falls outside available sources, the platform is designed to say so rather than speculate.

Keeping guidance current

Federal and state sources are monitored continuously. When a rule changes, subscribers can receive an alert explaining what changed and the operational impact. Because regulators publish on their own schedules, always confirm time-critical items against the primary source.

Data handling

• The platform is built to function without protected health information.
• Facility content is not sold and is not used to train third-party foundation models.
• Access is controlled with least-privilege practices and encryption in transit.

Human oversight

Ask a DON accelerates research and drafting. Generated policies, in-services, and readiness assessments are starting points for review by your compliance officer, clinical leadership, and legal counsel before adoption.

Limitations

• AI-assisted output can be incomplete or misapplied to unusual fact patterns.
• State interpretations vary and may differ from federal baseline expectations.
• The platform does not provide legal advice or represent your organization to regulators.
