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.

“Not stated” means exactly that. Plenty of capable tools do not publish this detail, and we would rather leave a blank than guess on a competitor’s behalf.

What the choice actually turns on

These are not the same purchase. BastionGPT is a covered general assistant for a whole practice: notes, summaries, record review, correspondence, across specialties. PsychAssist is built around the assessment battery. If your documentation load is mostly sessions, theirs is the right shape. If your bottleneck is the report, a general assistant will always be holding your scores as pasted text rather than as data.

Ask us both the same questions

Put these to BastionGPT and to us, live, on a case with something messy in it. Marketing claims are cheap and these are not.

01Show me the evidence in this case that contradicts the diagnosis - the scores, the instrument, and the session it came from.
02Pick any sentence in this draft. Show me the source it came from, and let me open it.
03Show me what a clinician approved into this record, and when.
04Export the audit trail for this case while I watch.
05Ask what happens to a score once it is in the conversation: whether it stays tied to the instrument and the rater that produced it, and what the system can show you about that later.

We answer all of these, and the table above shows what each vendor states publicly. The demo is where you find out which answers are real. The longer buyer’s guide has the rest.

If you are already using BastionGPT

Plenty of practices run both, and that is a reasonable answer. The question is which one the assessment report comes out of.

Bring a case with a contradiction in it - the one where the parent and teacher do not agree - and we will run these questions against it in front of you.

What BastionGPT states publicly

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.

Hold both of us to the same questions. The six requirements are published to be applied to any platform, ours included, and how to choose turns them into questions for a demo.
