The U.S. health system vulnerabilities

This study underscores the paradox of digital transformation: while health IT adoption improves efficiency, coordination, and data sharing, it simultaneously exposes the healthcare system to new risks. Strengthening system resilience requires harmonized governance, continuous monitoring, and greater investment in digital literacy. As AI use and automation expand, policy reforms must ensure that innovation does not compromise patient privacy or deepen inequities. These findings contribute to a better understanding of health system vulnerabilities and offer insights for enhancing the security and resilience of the U.S. health system.
