Legal & Compliance Summary for Clinics

Effective Purpose
Mursario is a voice AI assistant designed to support administrative communication for appointment-driven clinics. It helps manage calls, scheduling, confirmations, and general front-desk workflows so staff can focus on patient care.

1. Scope of Service

Mursario is limited strictly to non-clinical, administrative functions, including:

  • Answering incoming phone calls
  • Providing clinic hours and location information
  • Scheduling, rescheduling, and canceling appointments
  • Confirming appointments and sending reminders
  • Routing calls to human staff when required

Mursario does not:

  • Provide medical advice
  • Perform diagnosis or triage
  • Interpret symptoms
  • Make clinical decisions
  • Replace licensed medical professionals

2. Medical Disclaimer

Mursario does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Patients are clearly informed (via voice and/or system configuration) that:

  • The service is administrative only
  • Medical questions must be addressed by clinic staff
  • Emergencies should be directed to emergency services (e.g. 911)

3. Emergency Handling

Mursario is not intended for emergency situations.

If a caller indicates an emergency:

  • The system can be configured to immediately route the call to staff or
  • Prompt the caller to contact emergency services

Final responsibility for emergency protocols remains with the clinic.

4. Data Handling & Privacy

Mursario is designed with privacy and security awareness appropriate for healthcare environments.

  • Handles only the minimum data necessary for administrative tasks
  • Does not diagnose or store clinical decision data
  • Call recordings and logs (if enabled) are used for quality and operational purposes
  • Access controls and data retention policies are configurable

Clinics remain the data controller for patient information handled through Mursario.

5. HIPAA & Compliance Positioning

Mursario is positioned as an administrative support system, similar to a virtual receptionist.

  • It does not function as a clinical system
  • It does not independently create or modify medical records
  • Clinics are responsible for ensuring proper configuration and internal compliance policies

If required, additional safeguards (such as limited PHI handling or restricted workflows) can be implemented.

6. Responsibility & Oversight

Clinics retain full responsibility for:

  • Clinical care and decision-making
  • Staff supervision
  • Emergency procedures
  • Accuracy of scheduling rules and clinic information provided to Mursario

Mursario acts as an operational assistant, not a medical authority.

7. Intended Use Statement

Mursario is intended to:

Improve administrative efficiency, reduce missed calls, and lower no-show rates – without interfering in medical care.
