Healthcare can’t govern the AI tools it hasn’t found yet
93% of healthcare leaders report real patient data reaching AI coding assistants during development, with seven in ten using such tools without IT awareness.
Nearly nine in ten healthcare leaders have AI code touching patient data reviewed by security staff before deployment, yet seven in ten still use AI-built tools handling that data without IT or security knowing. Real patient information reaches AI coding assistants at least some of the time for 93% of respondents, and seven in ten say it happens frequently or usually. Only half have a written policy on AI coding assistants, though most feel prepared and have trained staff on safe use. More than half say AI-generated code has contributed to hardcoded credentials or exposed patient data.
