Healthcare leaders responsible for security and artificial intelligence strategy have a big challenge with unsanctioned use of AI tools, according to a new survey from Imprivata.
The rapid spread of AI across hospitals and health systems is also testing whether existing identity, access and oversight models can keep up with the need to manage agentic AI responsibly, say researchers in the report, "The Agentic AI Trust Gap: Why Healthcare Needs Identity-Led Governance," published Sept. 15.
Researchers at Vanson Bourne and access management security firm Imprivata said their new survey findings show the significant governance challenges as AI gains momentum across healthcare and AI agents' capabilities evolve.
The new report, based on a survey of 250 U.S.-based healthcare leaders, shows that while evidence of shadow AI is growing across enterprises, even sanctioned use of agentic AI is moving faster than many organizations' ability to monitor agent activity.
Twenty-eight percent of the healthcare leaders surveyed reported they already have agentic AI in production, and another 44% say they are piloting AI agents.
