Govern clinician chatbot use before it governs you
Today's items center on AI moving into clinical decisions and handoffs: HCA's Google-built nurse handoff tool heads to about 100 hospitals, Mayo Clinic opens a decision-support chatbot, and STAT reports that hundreds of thousands of doctors already consult chatbots. Security leaders get a statewide AI cyberattack drill to copy and a new OpenAI vulnerability model to evaluate. Finance and compliance teams get two billing signals and a payer's stated goal of cutting prior authorizations by 30%.
