Practical guidance for clinical practice

The roadmap provides clinical managers and professionals with practical guidance on the assessment, selection and implementation of AI solutions, with an emphasis on safety, transparency and professional accountability. It also underlines that AI should support clinical decision-making but never replace the judgement of healthcare professionals.

Next steps and common criteria

The action plan defines the next steps in building a governance structure, follow-up on implementation and knowledge-building in this field. Its aim is to create common criteria and help ensure that the benefits of AI are best utilised for patients, staff and the healthcare system as a whole.

A foundation for a secure future

Together, the documents lay the foundation for the responsible and secure implementation of artificial intelligence and support the continued development of the Icelandic healthcare service in a revolutionary era of digital progress.
