What ELSA AI can help produce
The Diagnostic gives dental groups the same board-ready evidence pack structure as other private providers.
Outputs include
- Board / Principal Dentist Findings Report
- RAG Exposure Map
- AI Tool and Use Case Inventory
- DPIA Readiness and Patient Data Exposure Note
- Vendor Data Position and Evidence Tracker
- MDO / Indemnity / Insurer Disclosure Readiness Note
- 30-Day Priority Action Plan
The issue is not simply that AI tools exist. The issue is having no documented governance position when someone asks how that AI use is controlled. Clinical AI Exposure Diagnostic™ page explains scope, timeline and fees.
Advisory governance support only. Not legal advice, DPIA sign-off, CQC certification, ICO approval, insurer coverage advice, MDO indemnity advice or clinical safety case sign-off. Final decisions remain with the clinic’s accountable officers and advisers.
