Free 7-Chapter eBook · Healthcare IT

Your employees are already using AI to process patient data. You just don't know which tools.

76% of healthcare employees use AI tools their IT team doesn't know about, moving PHI through unvetted systems every day. This guide shows you what's in use and how to close the gap.

What's inside the 7-chapter guide

Written for the healthcare IT leader who already knows Shadow AI is happening and needs a framework for what to do about it. No fluff. No "AI is the future" preamble. Just the governance gap, what it means for HIPAA, and how to close it.

  1. 1

    The Scale of Shadow AI

    How widespread unsanctioned AI use really is inside health systems, and why it stays invisible to IT.

  2. 2

    Staff Usage Patterns

    Which tools your teams reach for by department, from ChatGPT and Claude to ambient documentation assistants.

  3. 3

    PHI Exposure Risk

    Real scenarios showing how patient data moves through unvetted systems, and where it ends up.

  4. 4

    HIPAA Requirements

    What the regulatory framework actually requires when AI touches PHI, in plain language.

  5. 5

    Audit Methodology

    How to discover what's in use without creating distrust or driving usage further underground.

  6. 6

    Governance Framework

    A tiered, risk-based policy approach that enables safe AI instead of banning it outright.

  7. 7

    90-Day Implementation Roadmap

    A phased action plan with specific deliverables to close the gap inside one quarter.
