How Should a Hospital Screen AI Vendors Before Deployment?
A hospital should screen an AI vendor before adoption against the trust properties the institution will later be accountable for, scoring the vendor on six TIPPSS dimensions, Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety, and Security, and recording a designation, approved, conditional, or rejected, with a sealed record either way. A conditional designation is not a rejection. It sets what the institution should expect before authorizing production use.

Vendor questionnaires describe what a vendor says about itself. A screening record shows what the institution examined, what it found, and what it authorized on that basis.
- A defined screening scope tied to the intended decision class.•
- The six TIPPSS dimensions, Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety, and Security, scored, not attested.•
- A designation, approved, conditional, or rejected, recorded on the sealed record either way.•
- A named institutional owner for the screening decision.•
- A sealed record that carries into the production authorization.•
Procurement diligence establishes commercial terms. Vendor screening establishes whether the system is trustworthy enough to be authorized for consequential use.
Accountable authority: The institution assigns the screening owner; clinical, security, privacy, and legal functions contribute within their remits; production authorization remains a separate institutional decision.
