Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550733/fan_mail/new] What does it mean to be ready — really ready — to take care of a patient at 3am? Passing boards says you're safe enough to start. But clinical judgment? That's built through repetition, feedback, and experience that nursing education often can't provide. And the consequences of that gap are real: 50% of new grad nurses leave the bedside within 2 years, before they ever become the senior mentors the next class needs. Angela Millan has lived this from every angle. As a new grad thrown onto the floor after 18 days of orientation. As a nurse practitioner navigating an even steeper learning curve. As a clinical instructor watching her students freeze at the bedside — not because they didn't know what they were seeing, but because they didn't know what to do next. And now, as the co-founder of Prismn Health Technologies, where she's building Nurse Hazel: a conversational AI clinical reasoning tutor designed to close the gap before a nurse is ever alone in those high-stakes moments. In this episode, Chris and Angela get into: - Why the NCLEX measures minimum competency — not readiness - The difference between clinical knowledge and clinical judgment, and why it matters - A story about a nursing student who followed every protocol and still nearly lost a patient - The emotional cost of entering a profession where you're measured for compliance, not care - How Nurse Hazel works — and the strict line Angela drew on what AI should never do at the bedside - What a strong nursing workforce looks like in 10 years, and what it will take to get there Angela's perspective is rare: she's building from inside the problem, not around it. This is a conversation about what healthcare education has normalized, and what it looks like to refuse to accept that as inevitable. — Guest: Angela Millan — Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator, Co-Founder of Prismn Health Technologies Connect with Angela: linkedin.com/in/angela-milan Learn more about Prismn: https://joinprismn.com/ About Angela Millan: Angela Millan is a nurse practitioner, nurse educator, and co-founder of Prismn Health Technologies. She has lived the readiness gap from every angle — as a new grad put on the floor after roughly 18 days of orientation, as a nurse practitioner navigating an even steeper learning curve, and as a clinical instructor watching capable students freeze at the bedside because they did not yet know what to do next. At Prismn she is building Nurse Hazel, a conversational AI clinical-reasoning tutor designed to help nurses rehearse judgment before they are alone in high-stakes moments — with a deliberately strict boundary on what AI should never do in patient care. — The Signal Room is hosted by Chris Hutchins.

Why AI Agents Are Healthcare's Next Biggest Security Risk | Pranava Adduri

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2550733/fan_mail/new] WHY AI AGENTS ARE HEALTHCARE'S NEXT BIGGEST SECURITY RISK (WITH PRANAVA ADDURI) Generative AI is changing how the medical world works—but it is also completely rewriting the cyber threat landscape. When a security breach happens to a traditional business, it impacts revenue. When a data breach happens to a hospital system, people's lives are actively at stake. In this episode of The Signal Room, host Chris Hutchins sits down with Pranava Adduri, Co-Founder and CTO of Bedrock Data, to uncover a major operational blindspot: the dangerous gap between deploying autonomous AI agents and maintaining strict data governance. Pranava explains why the defensive advantage of AI tools is only temporary, how "helpful" AI agents inadvertently create massive security leaks, and why healthcare leaders must stop trying to build unreachable networks and instead adopt a radical new mindset: learn to get better at being breached. Key Takeaways From This Episode: * The AI Agent Judgment Gap: Why AI agents trying to get a job done will bypass security parameters (like creating hidden, shared data folders) because they lack human ethical judgment. * The "Scary Forest" of Permissions: How privileged access and credentials drift over time, and why letting an unchecked AI agent act with full user permissions creates a catastrophic blast radius. * Data-First Threat Modeling: How identifying your top five most critical data assets and working backward is the fastest way to harden a clinical environment. * Open Source vs. Frontier Labs: Why advanced adversarial AI capabilities are catching up quickly, making AI-assisted cyber attacks more frequent and sophisticated. Chapter Markers & Timestamps: * 0:00 — Introduction: Why healthcare data security is a matter of life and death. * 1:45 — Meet Pranava Adduri and the mission behind Bedrock Data. * 3:11 — How medical ransomware differs from standard enterprise cyber attacks. * 4:32 — The hidden threat landscape: What leaders miss when deploying GenAI. * 6:55 — Do defenders actually hold the long-term AI capability advantage? * 9:35 — Flipping the playbook: Why organizations must "get better at being breached." * 12:22 — Beyond honeypots: Restructuring network access and minimizing data footprints. * 14:38 — Why clinical settings give broad access to AI agents (and why it backfires). * 19:37 — Exposing the false sense of security around hosted cloud environments. * 23:55 — Reining in the "scary forest" of privileged access drift. * 27:30 — The #1 critical cybersecurity takeaway for healthcare CEOs and tech leaders. * 29:13 — Where to follow Bedrock Data and wrap-up. About Our Guest: Pranava Adduri is an expert in data infrastructure and security compliance. He was a founding engineer at Rubrik, where he focused heavily on ransomware defense and backup recovery. He later scaled data risk and compliance lines at AWS past $200 million in revenue, working directly with Fortune 500 CISOs. Today, he is an Entrepreneur in Residence at Greylock and the Co-Founder and CTO of Bedrock Data, an advanced data security and governance platform built explicitly for the AI era.
