Navigating AI Compliance Risks in Healthcare: Key Insights
As AI adoption accelerates in healthcare, organizations must confront a crucial truth: compliance failures often stem from structural blind spots, not from bad intentions. Understanding these blind spots is essential to mitigating risks effectively.
Key Red Flags to Watch For:
- “We Don’t Store PHI”: This claim is misleading. Assess data flow and access, not just storage.
- Uniform AI Workflows: Different workflows demand different data access levels to avoid overexposure or constraints.
- Post-Processing Controls: Safeguards should be proactive, not reactive.
- Vendors Don’t Solely Define Compliance: The entire data journey, including preparation and routing, matters.
- Lack of Evidence Trails: Compliance relies on clear documentation. Assumptions lead to vulnerabilities.
- Mismanagement of Voice and Documents: Treating outputs as interchangeable text increases risk.
- Compliance Is Not a Feature: It must be integrated, not isolated.
