Tier 1 · General-purpose AI
BastionGPT: what it is, and who it is for
a HIPAA-covered general assistant for notes, summaries and record review across a whole practice, rather than something built around the assessment battery.
What it is
A HIPAA-compliant AI assistant for healthcare documentation, giving access to several underlying models inside a covered environment. It drafts clinical notes in standard formats, transcribes sessions, analyses uploaded documents and integrates with EMR systems.
Who it is for: Healthcare professionals broadly: physicians, therapists, psychologists, nurses and behavioural health providers.
Scope of the work it takes on: General clinical AI assistant, with scribing and note generation across specialties.
Which of the three kinds it is
Tier 1 · General-purpose AI
Public assistants and HIPAA-configured builds of them. A conversation rather than a case file: excellent prose, no structured record underneath it.
You carry: the data, the reasoning, and the liability.
The tiers come from the three kinds of AI in psychological assessment report writing. They are about what a system does when the data contradicts itself, not about quality or price.
What it does well
- A signed BAA on every plan, including the free trial
- Session transcription of up to 240 minutes with up to ten speakers
- Document analysis across very long records
- Standard note formats: SOAP, DAP, BIRP, H&P and progress notes
- Integration with a long list of EMR and EHR systems
- Choice of underlying model, automatically or manually
What it is not built for
- Assessment psychology specifically: it serves many clinical specialties
- Holding a structured battery, where scores stay tied to the instrument and rater that produced them
- Deriving an assessment report from a whole case file
What its makers state
- HIPAA and BAA
- States a signed business associate agreement is included on every plan, including the free trial, and lists HIPAA, PIPEDA and Australian Privacy Principles compliance.
- Data handling
- States that data is never given to the underlying model providers, never used to train AI and never sold to third parties, with AES-256 and TLS 1.3 encryption.
- Claims traceable to a source
- Not stated for assessment claims. Document analysis works from uploaded records rather than a structured case file.
- Surfacing contradictory data
- Not stated.
- Clinician approval step
- Not stated as a gate. Output is drafted for the clinician to use and edit.
Common questions
- Is BastionGPT good for psychological assessment reports?
- It is a general clinical AI assistant rather than an assessment platform. It will help with notes, summaries and record review inside a HIPAA-covered environment, and it signs a BAA on every plan. What it does not do is hold a structured battery where each score stays tied to the instrument and rater behind it, which is what an assessment report has to rest on.
- Does BastionGPT sign a BAA?
- Yes. Its site states that a signed business associate agreement is included on every plan, including the free trial, and that customer data is not used to train models or shared with the underlying model providers.
