Before You Trust It book cover by Renee Portee

AI Is Here. Trust Is Optional. Decisions Are Not.

About the Book

Real governance for the real world of healthcare

Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare — but with innovation comes responsibility. Before you trust the output, you need the right questions, the right safeguards, and the right decisions.

This is not a book about AI in the abstract. It is a book about what happens when the technology meets the hallway, the front desk, the exam room, and the boardroom — and what leaders must decide before the gurney arrives.

Drawing on thirty years across military medicine, private practice, and the VA healthcare system, Renee Portee delivers a practical, honest, and human-centered guide to AI compliance in the organizations that cannot afford to get it wrong.

"AI doesn't replace judgment. It requires better judgment."
— Renee Portee
This Book Is For
Healthcare Leaders
Executives and administrators navigating first AI implementations
Dental Practice Owners
DSO leadership and independent owners building governance from the ground up
Clinical Leaders & Compliance Officers
The people accountable when AI tools affect patients, staff, and license
The Framework

Five pillars of AI compliance every healthcare leader needs

Patient Safety
Put patients at the center of every AI decision before adoption — not after an incident forces your hand.
Clinician Trust
Build adoption strategies that respect the people delivering care and reduce burnout instead of adding to it.
Governance
Create clear ownership, oversight, and accountability structures before problems arise — not during the fallout.
Compliance
Navigate HIPAA, data integrity, vendor accountability, and regulatory exposure with clarity and confidence.
Ethics
Ensure every AI decision reflects the values your organization claims to hold — not just the tools you can afford.
What You'll Gain

Four outcomes this book delivers

Protect What Matters Most
Put patient safety, clinician trust, and organizational integrity at the center of every AI decision — before a tool goes live.
Make Defensible Decisions
Apply a clear, repeatable framework to evaluate, implement, and monitor AI tools — with documentation that holds up under scrutiny.
Stay Compliant. Stay Ahead.
Align with evolving regulations, standards, and best practices — before enforcement catches organizations that moved without structure.
Build a Culture of Accountability
Empower teams to use AI responsibly — with transparency, governance, and ethical oversight embedded in daily practice, not just policy.

About the Author

Renee Portee

Healthcare AI Consultant · Corporate Trainer · Keynote Speaker

Renee Portee helps healthcare and dental organizations adopt artificial intelligence safely, ethically, and effectively — without overwhelming the people who deliver care.

She began her career as a U.S. Army combat medic — an experience that forged her commitment to precision, resilience, and mission-driven execution. She later served as a dental and medical office manager before spending 15 years with the VA healthcare system, where she partnered with clinical leaders on workflow analysis, operational improvement, and data-informed decision-making at scale.

That depth of experience gives Renee something most AI consultants lack: she understands healthcare from the inside out — from the exam room to the executive suite.

She is the founder of Regynyx™, an AI Compliance Architecture purpose-built for healthcare and dental organizations navigating the complex intersection of innovation and regulatory accountability.
