A practical, real-world approach for healthcare leaders to govern AI as adoption and risk grow.
As AI adoption accelerates, healthcare leaders are making governance decisions without clear playbooks. This discussion focuses on how organizations are actually approaching AI governance today—from vendor evaluation to ongoing oversight and shared ownership.
You’ll hear real-world guidance on:
Identify where gaps could create clinical or operational risk as AI adoption grows.
The AI Governance Readiness Checklist delivers a fast, practical view of where your organization stands, using a simple scoring model to highlight readiness, risk, and critical gaps across five common areas:
✔️ Regulatory and compliance preparedness tied to emerging AI requirements
✔️ Vendor oversight, including data ownership, sub-vendor risk, and performance accountability
✔️ Data security and privacy controls designed for AI-specific risks
✔️ Ongoing validation and monitoring for drift, bias, and real-world performance
✔️ Governance ownership, cross-functional roles, and change management readiness
Leaders gain a clear view of current risk, priority gaps, and where to focus next as AI moves from pilots to broader use.
Benefit from over two decades of expertise helping healthcare leaders bring clarity to complex data and technology, enabling organizations to build for today and prepare for what’s next.

AI adoption in healthcare is accelerating, but governance often lags behind. Many organizations assume existing compliance frameworks will carry them forward.
In reality, AI introduces new risks tied to vendor oversight, data use, patient safety, and accountability. Without clear governance, those risks multiply as tools spread across clinical and operational teams.
AI governance is about creating clarity as adoption scales—moving beyond static compliance to ongoing oversight. It means putting structures in place to evaluate new tools, monitor how they change over time, and adjust controls as risk evolves.
When governance works, healthcare organizations move faster with confidence, protecting patients and data while giving leaders the visibility needed to make informed decisions across the enterprise.
Across healthcare organizations, the same three areas determine whether AI governance scales—or quietly breaks down as adoption grows.
Vendor Management
What you ask, what you verify, and what you monitor over time
Most healthcare organizations buy AI rather than build it, which makes vendor oversight foundational to governance. Strong governance starts before contracts are signed and continues long after tools go live, including understanding how models are trained, how data is used and retained, whether sub-vendors are involved, and what happens when vendors change or contracts end.
Security and Privacy
Managing AI risks traditional software never introduced
AI introduces risks that legacy security models were not designed to handle, including prompt injection, model drift, and unintended data exposure. Effective governance emphasizes minimal data use, secure deployment models, regular testing, and clear expectations for incident response as tools evolve.
Organizational Readiness
Who owns AI governance and how teams actually adopt it
AI governance rarely works when ownership sits with a single function. It is most effective when responsibility is shared across clinical, IT, compliance, legal, and operational leaders, supported by a crawl, walk, run approach that helps organizations move beyond early adopters, build trust, and scale AI with clear change management and accountability.
Even well-intentioned healthcare organizations struggle when AI governance. Identifying these gaps early helps organizations reduce risk before AI use scales further.
Partner with healthcare technology experts who understand the systems, risks, and decisions behind responsible AI adoption. From vendor evaluation to ongoing governance, we help organizations move forward with clarity and control.

No. HIPAA is foundational, but AI governance also requires oversight of how models learn, change, and perform over time—especially when AI influences clinical or operational decisions.
Effective governance works best with shared ownership across clinical leadership, IT, compliance, legal, operations, and finance.
AI tools should be monitored continuously, with regular reviews to assess security, performance, and evolving risk.
Most organizations view AI as a way to augment existing roles and reduce administrative burden, not replace clinicians or staff outright.
