Can healthcare data be processed using OpenAI features in Zendesk?

Currently, OpenAI features available through Zendesk's Early Access Program (EAP) or Beta are not suitable for processing Protected Health Information (PHI). These features are not covered under Zendesk’s Advanced Compliance offering and should not be used by healthcare customers subject to HIPAA.

Healthcare organizations must be cautious and ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations. For more information on HIPAA enablement for OpenAI-powered features, users should refer to Zendesk's Advanced Compliance and Security Configuration Requirements.
