Originally published in @_TCglobal, a commentary by @ucsandiego's Jeffrey Tully, MD and Christian Dameff, MD, examines how hospital cyberattacks can quickly escalate into life-threatening disruptions - and how @HBO's 'The Pitt' accurately depicts it.

Health systems aren’t reducing AI risk by ignoring consumer tools, they’re increasing it.
New @NEJM_AI AI editorial: When physicians use generative AI without institutional engagement, systems lose visibility and safeguards.
The answer isn’t avoidance, it’s smarter governance.

Proud of CHC Co-Directors @jefftullymd & Christian Dameff for their #HIMSS2026 session.

Proud of our CHC team!
The hospital cyberattack in @HBO's #ThePitt is fiction-the risk is real. Through DIGIHEALS, we are funding CRASHCART w/@UCSDHCyber to restore hospital networks - so clinicians can keep treating patients. See the team in action during a simulation at Valleywise Health in Phoenix.
Think “The Pitt” was intense? At Valleywise Health, CHC CO-Directors @jefftullymd & Christian Dameff led a live cyberattack drill using CRASHCART, a mobile “digital lifeboat” that keeps hospitals running when ransomware hits. @UCSDJacobs
