The certification process evaluates organizational risk management, human oversight, and data transparency. For clinicians using Net Health platforms—including Alinea, Tissue Analytics, and WoundExpert—the standard mandates that every AI-generated output requires explicit review and approval before integration into a patient's medical record. CEO Ron Books stated that this validation is intended to foster clinician trust, ensuring that automated tools remain secondary to human judgment in sensitive care settings like wound management and rehabilitation.

Beyond the initial audit, A-LIGN will conduct periodic surveillance to monitor compliance, moving away from static, one-time assessments. This move bolsters Net Health’s existing regulatory portfolio, which already includes HIPAA, HITRUST r2, and SOC 2 Type II credentials. According to Keavy Murphy, Vice President of Security, the certification confirms that protections for Protected Health Information are deeply embedded into the lifecycle of every AI system the company deploys. By aligning with this international benchmark, the firm aims to provide a defensible documentation trail for healthcare providers operating in high-stakes environments.
