HHS Applies Discrimination Prohibitions to Use of Automated and Non-Automated Patient Care Decision Support Tools

On Monday, May 6th, the Office of Civil Rights (“OCR”) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) published a final rule to implement Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act[1] (“Section 1557”), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics), in covered health programs or activities (the “Final Rule”). Here, we focus on the Final Rule’s application of nondiscrimination principles under Section 1557 to the use of “patient care decision support tools” in clinical care. This Final Rule responds to the President’s Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence and comments received regarding the proposed rule for Section 1557. Other key provisions of the Final Rule, including the restoration of protections for LGBTQI+ and pregnant individuals, are summarized in a companion alert.
