Results: The semi-structured interviews revealed 8 key domains that should be included in the framework; intended use, data management, training data, safety, ethics, vendor support, regulatory compliance, cost-effectiveness, cost benefit assessment, compatibility with existing systems and evidence base. The final framework consisted of 97 criteria. These criteria were compiled in an electronic framework as suggested by the participants to facilitate collaboration between the different entities and assignment of responsibilities (Fig.2). Out of the 97 criteria evaluated, 96 were included in the final framework. The participants stated that the electronic framework was easy to use and could streamline the complex procurement process.

Conclusion: Overall, participants expressed confidence in the framework's ability to facilitate a safe, chronological, and comprehensive procurement process for AI solutions in healthcare. However, pilot testing is needed to assess the usability of the proposed framework in a real-life setting.
