Why This Industry Needs AI Governance
Hospitals, payers, and providers are adopting AI for clinical decision support, documentation, imaging, and operations — with direct implications for patient safety and PHI.
Organizations in healthcare increasingly rely on AI for decision-making, automation, service delivery, risk management, and operational efficiency. Without proper governance, AI adoption introduces privacy, security, compliance, operational, reputational, and accountability risks.
