👤 Addressing the "Shadow AI" Threat in Healthcare Security
Driven by clinician burnout and the desperate need for efficiency, healthcare providers are increasingly turning to unsanctioned, public-facing AI tools (like general-purpose chatbots) to assist with tasks. This practice, often referred to as Shadow AI, creates a major security risk because the data entered into these tools can leave Protected Health Information (PHI) exposed and compromise compliance with regulations like HIPAA. In the article, "In Healthcare, Threat of Shadow AI Outpaces Security as Clinician Adoption Accelerates", according to Nate Moore, Founder of Enlite IT Solutions Inc., the problem is that the pace of AI adoption is quickly outpacing security governance. The goal isn't to ban innovation, but to enable it safely. In lieu, Moore recommends a shift: instead of banning AI, organizations must create secure "AI sandboxes." These governed environments enable staff to test pre-vetted models safely, balancing innovation with data protection. 📣 Community Question: Given the balance between enhancing clinician efficiency and maintaining strict patient data security, what is the most vital step healthcare IT leadership should take right now to effectively manage the risks of Shadow AI?

In this article, For Healthcare Leaders, Build vs. Buy Determines ROI on Enterprise AI, featuring Matthew Crowson, MD, of Wolters Kluwer, Matthew argues that healthcare organizations must abandon their traditional "build reflex" for AI solutions, citing a high 95% failure rate. This traditional habit in the healthcare system is in stark contrast with tight margins and the competitive AI talent market. Crowson advocates for a shift to a hybrid partnership model where the organization "buys" a vendor's customizable platform. This model is crucial because it addresses trust issues by ensuring that sensitive patient data (PHI) remains secure behind the facility's firewall. He stresses to first focus on problem diagnosis, be realistic about their in-house talent, and ensure their data foundation is clean before engaging any vendors. This pragmatic approach is essential for achieving a positive ROI on enterprise AI. Community Question: What do you think? Is your organization currently struggling with the build vs. buy decision?

Cloning of VVOL
I have a RHEL VM and I am running the EPIC EMR software. I am wanting to clone the Production data to another VM to use as my Support environment. I currently have 8 RDM's in a protection groups that I snap and copy to another set of RDM's to use for those support environment. We are needing to convert these volumes over to VVOL's. What would be the new steps for VVOLS. I currently use copy_volume to copy the snaps. Thanks for any helpAccelerate Breakout Replay: Pure Cloud Block Storeâ„¢ for Healthcare: Focus on Epic
