While AI is entering healthcare institutions, clear frameworks, oversight, and knowledge regarding safe use are often still lacking. The reflex to "ban" AI is not an option; after all, the healthcare sector must continue to innovate. We must build structural solutions.

Based on conversations with healthcare organizations and IT partners, we share four recommendations for dealing responsibly with AI:

Many employees already use AI tools. Organizations that haven't yet established frameworks are lagging behind. Provide clear guidelines to provide guidance and help prevent incidents.

Policy is about what is and isn't allowed; vision is about where an institution wants to go. Without a shared vision for the future, AI will continue to be deployed ad hoc, creating risks and missed opportunities.

Not every AI solution offers the transparency, control, or legal certainty that healthcare requires. Consider a solution that enables data processing under its own control, such as Private AI on Dutch infrastructure. This ensures that the use of AI remains in line with the organization's principles and the expectations of patients and regulators.

Actively training employees in the safe and responsible use of AI reduces the risk of errors and increases confidence in new technology. Provide healthcare professionals with concrete guidelines, relatable practical examples, and allow room for questions and dilemmas.
