Towards an AI-Enhanced sustainable health system: inferences from healthcare management research

Summary/Abstract: Health management literature is critical in facilitating effective leadership and management in the health sector by imparting the knowledge and understanding required in health service planning, organization, coordination, and management. Through an exhaustive bibliometric examination, the current state of the “healthcare management” literature was assessed in this study, illuminating potential future developments in the field. By utilizing an extensive compilation of articles from the Web of Science (WoS) database, this study endeavors to scrutinize patterns in scientific inquiry, assess advancements made on subjects, and underscore significant fields of cooperation and scholarly input. An in-depth, extensive analysis revealed that three decades of research yielded over 46,000 publications; the number of publications has increased by six, particularly in the last ten years, and the United States and the United Kingdom produced most of the publications. Analysis identifying influential journals and authors in the field revealed that it is the focus of attention of health professionals, especially nurses. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has been recognized as the primary public health concern, scholarly attention has shifted towards a sustainable health system incorporating technology-supported preventive health practices and intelligence. To thoroughly comprehend the theoretical progression of health management research, its capacity to tackle worldwide issues, and its growth potential, the study’s findings are a valuable scholarly resource that offers practitioners, policymakers, and researchers a comprehensive overview.
