Healthcare CIOs Must Fix Two Areas Now Before AI Adoption

Healthcare CIOs Must Fix Two Areas Now Before AI Adoption
SHARE

Healthcare organizations are facing numerous challenges, from shrinking margins to workforce shortages and rising patient expectations. The delicate balance between quality care and value-based models is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. While artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a solution, healthcare CIOs must address foundational gaps in cybersecurity, operations, and the clinical workforce to ensure sustainable progress.

Cybersecurity remains a top priority for healthcare CIOs, especially as ransomware attacks continue to rise. A recent report by Sophos revealed that 73% of healthcare organizations were affected by ransomware in 2024, up from 66% in the previous year. Factors contributing to this surge include the sophistication of cybercriminals, the use of legacy systems, and the expanded attack surface due to digitalization in healthcare. The hybrid care model, combining remote and in-person services, has created more entry points for cyberattacks, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures.

When faced with ransomware attacks, healthcare leaders often grapple with the decision of whether to pay the ransom. The Sophos report showed that 60% of affected organizations opted to pay, but only 47% were able to recover all their data. This uncertainty underscores the importance of investing in backup and disaster recovery solutions to avoid relying on cybercriminals for data restoration. Cyber insurance, while helpful in offsetting costs, now requires organizations to demonstrate advanced cybersecurity controls, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive security strategy.

Another critical issue facing healthcare organizations is the gap between IT and clinical teams. A survey by Symplr revealed that clinicians believe they should have more influence in software purchasing decisions, while IT and operational leaders are more hesitant to involve them. Collaboration between IT and clinical teams is essential for ensuring the best possible patient care and bridging the gap between technology solutions and frontline healthcare delivery.

As we look towards 2025, it is crucial for healthcare leaders to prioritize foundational elements like cybersecurity and strengthening collaboration between IT and clinical teams. While AI is important, focusing on robust processes and communication will drive long-term success in the digital healthcare landscape. By addressing these key areas, healthcare organizations can navigate challenges and thrive in an ever-evolving industry.
