Discovery Issues Associated with AI Scribe Audio and Audit Trails

AI scribe audio is deleted on a schedule, often before suit is filed. Learn to deploy HIPAA access requests, preservation letters, and Rule 27 depositions to capture recordings, impeach AI-generated notes at deposition and trial, and pursue FRCP 37(e) spoliation sanctions when audio is gone.

Course Overview

The best evidence of what was actually said is already scheduled for deletion

2026-10-26 14:30:00

AI scribes now draft the clinical note from a recorded patient encounter. The recording, not the note, captures what was actually said. Yet vendors delete that audio on short retention windows, often before a plaintiff files suit. The evidence problem is structural: deletion by design, not by accident.

Wait for discovery, and the audio is gone. Demand records under the HIPAA right of access, 45 CFR § 164.524, and the designated record set fight begins. Skip the preservation letter, and the vendor’s deletion clock keeps running. Take the Rule 27 deposition before the motion, and testimony is perpetuated while evidence still exists. Let the note stand unchallenged, and the attestation gap between spoken word and AI-signed note goes unexploited.

Attendees leave with a working framework for identifying what AI scribe data exists and how to demand it. They build a preservation-to-spoliation timeline and learn to cross-examine on hallucination. And they leave with the evidentiary foundation for FRCP 37(e) sanctions, or a state-law adverse inference, when the audio has been destroyed.

Key topics that will be covered

01
The Deletion Clock
Mapping AI scribe audio retention windows and the structural evidence problem they create before suit is filed.
02
HIPAA Right of Access
Deploying 45 CFR § 164.524 and the designated record set argument as pre-suit tools to reach audio the health system classifies as a non-record transitory communication.
03
Pre-Suit Preservation
Structuring preservation letters, litigation holds, and vendor targeting to stop the deletion clock before litigation begins.
04
The Rule 27 Deposition
Perpetuating testimony from vendor IT custodians before the motion, when deletion is imminent.
05
Impeaching the Note
Quantifying the AI scribe error landscape and cross-examining at deposition and trial on the attestation gap between what was spoken and what the AI-signed note says.
06
Spoliation and Sanctions
Building a preservation-to-spoliation timeline and moving under FRCP 37(e) or state-law adverse inference when the audio has been destroyed.

Program schedule

clock 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm EST

Pre-Suit Access Requests and Why the Deposition Comes Before the Motion

This session equips plaintiff attorneys with a sequenced, pre-suit strategy for obtaining AI scribe audio recordings and audit trails before automatic deletion windows close. Attendees will learn how to deploy the HIPAA right of access, preservation letters, and Rule 27 depositions to perpetuate testimony before litigation begins — and before evidence vanishes. Attorneys will leave with a working framework for identifying what AI scribe data exists, how to demand it, and how to structure a pre-suit deposition targeting vendor IT custodians when deletion is imminent.

Impeaching the Note with the Audio and Moving When the Audio Is Gone

This session equips plaintiff attorneys with a concrete framework for using AI scribe audio recordings to impeach AI-generated clinical notes at deposition and trial, and for pursuing spoliation sanctions when those recordings have been deleted. Attendees will learn how to identify and exploit the attestation gap between what was spoken and what the AI-signed note says, how to structure a FRCP 37(e) motion or state-law adverse inference argument when audio has been destroyed, and how to fight the health system’s attempt to classify audio as a non-record transitory communication. By the end of this session, attorneys will be able to build a preservation-to-spoliation timeline, cross-examine on hallucination, and move for sanctions with the right evidentiary foundation.
