Prescription for Risk: The Cybersecurity Hazards of GenAI in Healthcare

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is now embedded in healthcare workflows to write clinical notes, draft patient communications, and adjudicate claims, often outpacing institutional oversight mechanisms. Research identifies a 'custody gap' where AI-generated artifacts enter patient records without adequate governance, creating risk across clinical and administrative operations.

Why it matters: Healthcare providers and compliance teams need to audit AI-generated documentation in patient records today, as these artifacts can introduce liability, affect clinical decisions, and trigger regulatory exposure under health data protection laws.
