The Power of Human + AI: CORL’s Differentiated Approach to Healthcare Risk Management

By CORL Technologies | April 23, 2025

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, healthcare organizations are grappling with a double-edged challenge: the accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in their vendor ecosystem, and the increasing complexity of keeping that ecosystem secure and compliant.

At CORL Technologies, we believe the answer isn’t choosing between AI or human expertise—it’s combining both. That belief drives how we deliver smarter, faster, and more context-aware risk assessments for healthcare organizations. Our unique blend of AI-powered tools and deep human expertise is what sets us apart—and delivers real value to our clients.

Why AI Alone Isn’t Enough

AI brings tremendous efficiency to risk management—it processes large volumes of data, flags anomalies, and automates routine assessments. At CORL, we’ve built the AI Security Questionnaire—a purpose-built tool designed to assess AI risks in healthcare vendors, from data privacy practices to model governance and regulatory alignment.

But while AI brings speed and scale, it has limitations:

• It can surface risks but not always interpret their impact.
• It may flag issues that require nuanced, context-aware decision-making.
• It cannot always distinguish between what is technically correct and what is ethically or operationally appropriate in a clinical setting.

This is where human intelligence becomes essential.

The CORL Difference: Human Expertise at the Core to Mitigate AI Risks in Healthcare

Our healthcare security professionals bring decades of hands-on experience across third-party risk, compliance, and clinical operations. They’re not just checking boxes—they understand the realities of healthcare delivery, the intent behind regulatory frameworks, and the downstream implications of vendor decisions.

When paired with our AI-driven tools, our experts:

• Interpret and contextualize risk flags surfaced by AI engines.
• Prioritize risks based on real-world impact, not just theoretical vulnerabilities.
• Guide vendors in remediating issues with insights grounded in healthcare operations and compliance requirements.
• Continuously refine the AI model based on frontline intelligence—making our tools smarter and more equipped to address AI risks in healthcare over time.

AI + Human = Better Outcomes, Faster

This hybrid model leads to real-world benefits:

• Faster turnaround times for risk assessments without compromising on depth or accuracy.
• More actionable insights that go beyond surface-level data.
• Higher vendor engagement and responsiveness due to expert-led communication.
• Reduced burden on internal healthcare teams, who can focus on strategic decision-making instead of administrative triage.

Built for Healthcare, Focused on the Future

As the adoption of AI grows—both within healthcare organizations and their vendor networks—the stakes are only getting higher. AI risks in healthcare related to data misuse, algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, and regulatory misalignment are no longer theoretical—they’re here, and they’re urgent.

With CORL’s AI Security Questionnaire, you get a purpose-built AI risk management framework to assess evolving vendor risks. But it’s our people—our expert analysts, security professionals, and healthcare veterans—who ensure those assessments are meaningful, defensible, and aligned with your mission to protect patients and data.

Ahead of the Curve: Our Evolving AI Risk Management Framework

CORL’s AI Security Questionnaire isn’t just a static checklist—it’s a living framework designed to evolve with the rapid pace of AI innovation. We’ve grounded it in trusted sources like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, along with emerging legislation and healthcare-specific standards. This ensures that the risks we assess—from transparency and data governance to bias and accountability—are both relevant and defensible.

As AI applications in healthcare become more complex, having a dedicated framework to evaluate vendors’ AI practices is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s essential. By embedding the AI Security Questionnaire directly into your third-party risk workflows, you gain a consistent, scalable, and forward-looking way to monitor vendor alignment with evolving expectations.

And because we continuously update our AI risk management framework based on real-world client needs, regulatory developments, and frontline intelligence, you can be confident your risk evaluations stay ahead of the curve.
