The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various aspects of society, and research has been published across different sectors beyond healthcare. This article presents the results of a literature review in Hospital Supply Chain management (HSCM) to identify current and future research areas. The literature review identified four main research themes associated with the scope of HSCM, the flow type, and the approaches employed. The results of this study suggest that COVID-19 is a catalyst for short-and long-term changes that require the attention of researchers, strategies to incorporate 4.0 technologies, and integration of different stakeholders to improve the resilience and sustainability of the Supply Chain (SC) in future pandemic scenarios. This paper provides relevant information to the implementation for future research regarding the management of the HSCM for the post-pandemic period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
