Allowing patients to record audio and video greatly increases the impact of incidental disclosure, of other patients PHI being exposed by your recording or another patient recording your PHI, and that can be a HIPAA violation depending on the context. All modern phones have locked down access to call sound output to prevent stalking apps. Sometimes there is a workaround to record call output through the accessibility features, usually this comes with a big enough disclaimer that it can’t be used to stalk someone when used maliciously. The more reliable way to record a phone call including what the other person is saying is to put it on speakerphone.

That seems like a cop-out to me, and it actually seems to be a tacit admission that PHI isn't secure in the middle of a facility. If someone else's PHI hits my ears or eyes, it's already a HIPAA violation whether or not it's recorded. The desire of consumers to record interactions and keep providers honest does not/should not constitute a novel barrier to that provider's privacy compliance.
