Patterns of AI Use in Clinical Work by Hospitalists: Survey Study
Two-thirds of hospitalists organically adopted AI despite the absence of institutional oversight.

Health care institutions must develop governance frameworks, validation protocols, and educational initiatives to ensure safe and effective AI deployment in clinical practice.
