The Bot Will See You Now: Why Clinicians Need AI Accountability
A recent report from the Department of Health and Human Safety (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) revealed an astonishing reality: 29 million people had Patient Health Information (PHI) impacted by data breaches in the first six months of 2025. In June alone there were 70 breaches that impacted a whopping 7,609,868 individuals. The OCR portal showcases breaches impacting more than 500 people, and not surprisingly nine of the ten breaches involved hacking/IT incidents.
In a world that is riddled with technology moving at breakneck speed and scammers that follow not far behind, it is important for healthcare professionals both on the clinical and non-clinical sides of the house to come together in a united front. The reality is that whether you are caring for patients at the bedside or behind the scenes, the way you use automation has a direct impact on care.
