Summary
Health-specific AI policy checklist developed by the OECD with the Global Digital Health Partnership, Coalition for Health AI, and OECD AI in Health Expert Group. The framework identifies policy actions for responsibly scaling AI in health across four pillars: establishing enablers, building capacity and capability, implementing guardrails, engaging meaningfully with stakeholders, and deploying trustworthy AI. It is non-prescriptive but intended to help policymakers, technologists, and health workforces identify blind spots and readiness gaps.
Healthcare Implications
Provides an international reference framework for governments and health systems developing AI-in-health strategies, action plans, oversight bodies, procurement expectations, data foundations, workforce capacity, public/provider engagement, and trustworthy deployment practices. It can help benchmark national health-AI readiness and guide policy design around health data access, validation, governance, monitoring, transparency, accountability, equity, and cross-border compatibility.
