From AI Oversight to Agent Governance: Rethinking the Guardrails for Healthcare AI

As healthcare AI evolves from tools that generate recommendations to agents capable of accessing data and taking action across systems, governance has to evolve with it.In this episode of The Beat's AI at ViVE series, host Sandy chats with Corinne Pellows, the Director of product management at Rhapsody about the growing need for real-time AI governance.

They explore why written policies alone aren't enough, how health systems can manage AI agent permissions and data access, and where human oversight belongs in increasingly autonomous workflows. Corinne also discusses how organizations can use Rhapsody® Guardian to build flexible safeguards that evolve alongside AI.     

Remember, responsible AI requires more than setting policies. It requires putting them into action.

In this episode, they talk about:

●      Why AI agents introduce new governance risks when they move from advice to action

●      How to manage AI agent permissions like employee access privileges

●      Why written AI policies need real-time technical enforcement

●      How Rhapsody Guardian supports AI and API governance

●      Why healthcare organizations need visibility into what data AI agents access

●      When human oversight is essential and when it can create unnecessary friction

●      How risk-based policies can evolve alongside AI technology

●      Why effective AI governance must work with existing healthcare infrastructure
