Compliance Planner

合规规划手册

Plan privacy, research, regulatory, and governance requirements for a digital health product in a framework-agnostic way.
以框架无关的方式规划数字健康产品的隐私、研究、监管及治理要求。

When to Use

适用场景

Use this skill when you need to:
  • assess whether a product handles regulated health or research data
  • prepare for HIPAA, IRB, FDA, GDPR, or institutional review conversations
  • define consent, retention, export, deletion, and audit expectations
  • identify compliance work that should shape product scope early
在以下场景中使用本指南:
  • 评估产品是否处理受监管的健康或研究数据
  • 为HIPAA、IRB、FDA、GDPR相关沟通或机构审查做准备
  • 定义知情同意、数据留存、导出、删除及审计的预期要求
  • 尽早识别应影响产品范围的合规工作

Working Style

工作流程

Do not jump straight to controls. First understand:
  1. product purpose
  2. who the users are
  3. whether the product is clinical care, research, wellness, operations, or education
  4. what data is collected, derived, shared, or exported
  5. which regions, institutions, and partners are involved
Then produce a concise compliance planning brief with assumptions, risks, open questions, and recommended next steps.
不要直接跳到控制措施。首先需明确:
  1. 产品用途
  2. 用户群体
  3. 产品属于临床护理、研究、健康管理、运营还是教育类
  4. 收集、衍生、共享或导出的数据类型
  5. 涉及的地区、机构及合作伙伴
随后生成一份简洁的合规规划简报,包含假设、风险、待解决问题及建议的后续步骤。

Core Questions

核心问题

Ask about:
  • intended use and claims
  • user groups such as patients, participants, clinicians, coordinators, or caregivers
  • data types collected, inferred, uploaded, or connected from external systems
  • whether the product supports research, quality improvement, or direct care
  • data storage, processing, and sharing locations
  • third-party vendors and subprocessors
  • admin access, audit needs, and incident response expectations
  • export, deletion, correction, and retention requirements
需询问以下问题:
  • 预期用途及声明
  • 用户群体,如患者、研究参与者、临床医生、协调员或护理人员
  • 收集、推断、上传或从外部系统接入的数据类型
  • 产品是否支持研究、质量改进或直接护理
  • 数据存储、处理及共享的地点
  • 第三方供应商及分包商
  • 管理员权限、审计需求及事件响应预期
  • 数据导出、删除、更正及留存要求

Compliance Areas To Review

需审查的合规领域

HIPAA and Institutional Privacy

HIPAA与机构隐私

Check whether the product likely handles protected health information or institution-controlled data.
Review:
  • what identifiers are present
  • who is a covered entity or business associate
  • minimum necessary access expectations
  • workforce, admin, and support access boundaries
  • logging, monitoring, and breach response needs
检查产品是否可能处理受保护的健康信息或机构控制的数据。
审查内容:
  • 存在哪些标识符
  • 谁是受保实体或业务关联方
  • 最小必要访问权限的预期
  • 员工、管理员及支持人员的权限边界
  • 日志记录、监控及数据泄露响应需求

Research and IRB

研究与IRB

If the product supports a study, review:
  • study purpose and protocol maturity
  • recruitment and consent approach
  • risk level and participant burden
  • withdrawal process
  • de-identification or anonymization approach
  • data sharing and secondary use plans
若产品支持研究项目,需审查:
  • 研究目的及方案成熟度
  • 招募及知情同意方式
  • 风险等级及参与者负担
  • 退出流程
  • 去标识化或匿名化方式
  • 数据共享及二次使用计划

FDA and Product Claims

FDA与产品声明

Evaluate whether the product may be treated as software with medical-device implications.
Ask:
  • does it diagnose, recommend treatment, monitor for intervention, or drive clinical action
  • are outputs informational, advisory, or action-triggering
  • what happens if the product is wrong, unavailable, or delayed
评估产品是否可能被视为具有医疗设备属性的软件。
需询问:
  • 产品是否用于诊断、推荐治疗、监测干预需求或驱动临床行动
  • 输出内容是信息性、建议性还是触发行动的
  • 若产品出现错误、不可用或延迟会产生何种影响

GDPR and Cross-Border Privacy

GDPR与跨境隐私

If EU or UK users may be involved, review:
  • lawful basis
  • consent and withdrawal mechanics
  • subject rights handling
  • transfer mechanisms
  • retention, deletion, and processing-record expectations
若涉及欧盟或英国用户,需审查:
  • 合法依据
  • 知情同意及撤回机制
  • 主体权利处理方式
  • 数据传输机制
  • 数据留存、删除及处理记录的预期

Planning Outputs

规划产出

Produce a brief with these sections and save it as
docs/planning/compliance-brief.md
in the project repository:
生成包含以下部分的简报,并保存至项目仓库的
docs/planning/compliance-brief.md
路径下:

1. Scope Summary

1. 范围摘要

  • product purpose
  • user groups
  • jurisdictions and institutions
  • data categories in scope
  • 产品用途
  • 用户群体

  • Flag when local counsel, compliance officers, IRB staff, or institutional privacy teams should review the plan.
  • 不要将法律结论表述为确定性内容。
  • 明确区分产品指导与法律建议。
  • 除非要求明确且已确立,否则优先使用“您可能需要评估”而非“您必须”的表述。
