500 Patches. The Hospital App Still Can't Go Down.

August 26, 2026: Lindsey Bengfort (Managing Director, Healthcare, NTT Data) sits down with Bill Russell. She buckets what she hears every week into three anxieties: financial, tech/AI, and security. Security used to get skipped in the room. Not now. If you do not have a point of view, you do not get invited. From there: 500 patches on one hospital-critical application, garage-level attackers with open models, and an onslaught of AI features inside the vendors you already own. Lindsey's picture: you keep stacking band-aids. You never stitch the wound. Closes on three places a health system can take cost out without taking it out of patients.
