IT’ S HELPED US MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER, RATHER THAN EACH HOSPITAL WORKING IN ISOLATION.
Building on this foundation, Philips and Vestre Viken are now collaborating on the next phase of their AI strategy by developing structured automatic reporting within the same integrated environment. This advancement will allow AI-generated insights to be automatically embedded into standardised radiology reports, streamlining documentation, improving consistency and further reducing reporting times. It reflects a shared commitment to continuous innovation and to ensuring AI remains tightly aligned with clinical needs and workflows across the entire care continuum.
Clinical validation confirmed that AI and radiologists complement each other, improving sensitivity and reducing missed findings. Radiographers report greater confidence through real-time AI feedback, while patients benefit from faster, safer care. Local validation at Vestre Viken showed AI accuracy ~ 91 %( radiologists 95 %); with AI assistance, radiologist sensitivity increased from 93 % to 98 %, supporting safe discharge of negatives and better capture of true positives.“ These numbers show that AI is not just about technology by it’ s about making healthcare better for patients and safer for staff,” said Line Tveiten, Implementation Leader at Vestre Viken Hospital Trust.
Accelerate confident diagnostic decision-making
Beyond efficiency, the AI-supported workflow has fostered a cultural change. Radiographers report greater engagement and learning, with immediate feedback from AI enhancing their confidence and decisionmaking. Radiologists appreciate AI as a support tool and triage mechanism that helps them focus on the most complex or urgent cases first.
From regional innovation to national impact
As Norway’ s first hospital to implement AI, Vestre Viken quickly became a regional leader in Digital Transformation.“ We used this opportunity to build an AI network across the region,” Graff said.“ We collaborate on procurements, share experiences and offer support whenever needed. It’ s helped us move forward together, rather than each hospital working in isolation.”
This co-ordinated approach has turned AI from a promising pilot into a proven, repeatable model of operational excellence. What began as a local innovation at Vestre Viken has become a national movement. Together with Philips and the trust’ s regional partners, it is shaping how AI can be responsibly integrated into everyday clinical practice for the benefit of both patients and professionals.
A blueprint for AI-driven healthcare
Vestre Viken Hospital Trust shows how innovation, trust and teamwork can turn AI into real-world impact. With seamless integration of solutions like Philips AI Manager, Vue PACS and Philips RIS, the trust has boosted clinical confidence, streamlined workflows and set a new benchmark for scalable AI in healthcare. �
