Implementation Science for AI Integration in Digital Health Systems
We systematically reviewed studies of implementation science frameworks used for healthcare AI deployment (2020-2026). Following PRISMA 2020, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus and included 87 empirical studies. CFIR was most common (42.5%), followed by RE-AIM (28.7%) and EPIS (18.4%). The most frequent barriers were data infrastructure limitations (67.8%), clinician trust deficits (58.6%), and regulatory uncertainty (52.9%).
