Johns Hopkins Bayview notifies 3,182 patients after upload to unapproved AI tool

Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center is notifying about 3,182 patients that their information may have been compromised after a workforce member uploaded a spreadsheet containing patient data to a public AI tool the hospital had not approved, according to an Oct. 23 news release reported by Becker's.

Do this week. Confirm this week that staff have an approved AI tool for routine work and that public AI sites are covered by data loss prevention rules for patient data. Run this

The claim.: Johns Hopkins describes the upload as a mistake by a workforce member.
The evidence.: Becker's reports the incident from the hospital's own release; no regulator finding has been published.

For the Chief AI Officer. Publish a short list of approved AI tools and the data each may receive, so staff have a sanctioned path.

For the Compliance, privacy and legal. Review breach notification procedures for AI-related disclosures and update the acceptable use policy to name public AI tools.

Researchers say long-term effects of chatbot use on isolation are unknown

In a STAT opinion piece, researchers argue that no one yet knows whether people gradually disconnect from one another over months of interacting with chatbots, and that researchers need better access to data to find out.

Do this week. Review any patient-facing chatbot you run or plan to run and add a clear handoff to a human and a way to measure repeat use. Run this

The claim.: The authors argue that cumulative chatbot use may affect social connection and that the data to study it is missing.
The evidence.: This is an opinion piece; the authors state that the evidence does not yet exist.

For the Chief AI Officer. Add usage and escalation monitoring to the governance requirements for patient-facing AI.

For the Patient experience. Make sure frequent chatbot users are offered contact with a person, especially in behavioral health and senior care.
