Is PowerScribe One HIPAA compliant?

Q: Does PowerScribe One sign a HIPAA BAA?

Not confirmed. No current Microsoft page checked states whether PowerScribe One is covered by a BAA. Microsoft's standard HIPAA BAA lists in-scope cloud services but does not name PowerScribe or other Nuance radiology products, so BAA status is unknown; confirm with your Microsoft/Nuance contract.

Not confirmed. We couldn't find a Business Associate Agreement offer for PowerScribe One on Microsoft (Nuance)'s own pages. Without a signed BAA, keep patient data out of it.

By plan

Plan	BAA	How to get it	Conditions
PowerScribe One enterprise license (radiology departments)	Not confirmed	Not stated	PowerScribe One is sold to radiology groups and health systems under contract. Microsoft's HIPAA page says its BAA reaches customers by default through the Online Services DPA but covers only the listed in-scope services, which do not include PowerScribe. The Product Terms privacy section mentions the BAA only for Dragon Copilot. The legacy Nuance HIPAA page now redirects to a Word document on microsoft.com that could not be read.[1],[2],[3],[4]

A signed BAA is necessary but not sufficient for HIPAA compliance, which also depends on configuration, access controls, and your own policies. Verdicts summarize the vendor's own published terms as of the date checked; confirm with the vendor and your counsel before sending protected health information. Not legal advice.
