HIPAA Knowledge Base — Mojar AI

The curated knowledge corpus that powers the Mojar AI HIPAA Compliance Assistant — a free, public AI agent built by Mojar AI to help healthcare teams, compliance officers, and engineers get accurate, grounded answers to HIPAA questions.

This dataset is the source of truth the assistant retrieves from. Every answer the agent gives is grounded in one of the documents below, with citations back to the underlying CFR section, HHS guidance page, or curated explainer.

Why this exists

HIPAA is large, fragmented, and scattered across:

• 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, 164 (the regulations themselves)
• HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) guidance pages and FAQs
• OCR resolution agreements and enforcement actions
• HITECH Act amendments
• Real-world operational practice that isn't written down anywhere official

A general-purpose LLM hallucinates citations, mixes up the Privacy Rule with the Security Rule, and gives advice that sounds right but cites sections that don't exist. The Mojar AI HIPAA agent solves that by retrieving from this curated, version-controlled corpus and answering only from what it finds.

We're publishing the corpus openly so:

1. The HIPAA agent's answers are auditable — anyone can inspect the exact source material.
2. Other teams can build their own HIPAA-aware tools on the same foundation.
3. Researchers studying healthcare compliance, RAG grounding, or regulatory NLP have a clean, citation-faithful starting point.

Ask it questions like:

• "Can a covered entity use a free tier of a cloud provider for PHI?"
• "What's the difference between consent and authorization under HIPAA?"
• "When does the Breach Notification Rule require notifying the media?"
• "What technical safeguards does §164.312 require for access control?"

The agent retrieves from this dataset, cites the source, and refuses to answer when the corpus doesn't cover it.

Design notes describing how Mojar AI assembled the HIPAA agent on top of this corpus — chunking strategy, retrieval setup, citation enforcement, refusal behavior, and evaluation.

Format

All documents are plain Markdown (.md), suitable for direct ingestion into RAG pipelines.

• Verbatim files (CFR, HHS guidance, FAQs, OCR resolution agreements) preserve original wording for citation fidelity. Do not paraphrase these into your index.
• Curated explainers are written in plain English for retrieval-friendly grounding. Each one cites the underlying CFR/HHS source at the top.
• Role-based Q&A files use a consistent Q: / A: format suitable for fine-tuning, evaluation sets, or example-based retrieval.

Updates

The corpus is updated as HHS/OCR publishes new guidance and as we add operational Q&A from real customer usage of the assistant. Material changes are committed with a descriptive message; see the commit history.
