Do you trust automated AI tools to handle sensitive patient information in healthcare settings?
Bastion Intelligence has released a Microsoft-certified connector for BastionGPT, allowing healthcare organizations to integrate generative AI into existing enterprise workflows. The service is available now in commercial cloud regions, operating under a Business Associate Agreement.
Why it matters
Healthcare providers require specific BAA coverage to process sensitive patient information through third-party AI services. This integration allows these organizations to automate processes using GPT, Claude, or Gemini models while maintaining regulatory compliance.
The connector supports five distinct actions for healthcare workflows and allows file uploads up to 10 MB, with document references expiring after 30 days.
The players
Bastion Intelligence
A Dallas-based software firm that provides enterprise-grade AI solutions for the healthcare sector.
Microsoft
A global technology provider offering enterprise cloud and automation ecosystems including Azure and Power Platform.
The details
The connector acts as a middleware bridge, enabling users to inject AI functionality into Power Automate, Power Apps, Copilot Studio, and Azure Logic Apps without custom code. Each action routes requests through the BastionGPT API to process data via GPT, Claude, or Gemini models. A Business Associate Agreement ensures that customer content is isolated and not used to train the underlying artificial intelligence models.
Timeline

The Tech Race
This development follows the strict data-handling patterns required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). It marks a departure from non-compliant public AI deployments by formalizing data privacy guardrails within the standard enterprise software stack.
Healthcare professionals can immediately incorporate AI automation into their Microsoft workflows by accessing the new connector in the Microsoft directory. Organizations must note that the connector is classified as a Premium tool for Power Automate and Power Apps, which may impact licensing requirements.
The takeaway
The move enables secure AI integration for existing Microsoft enterprise users by formalizing data-handling agreements. Stakeholders should monitor the connector directory for future updates to the five available workflow actions.
