Blockchain in healthcare: A systematic literature review, synthesizing framework and future research agenda

Big data analytics in healthcare: a systematic literature review

“…The protocol for the current SLR, as presented in Figure 1, is comprised of three sequential processes: planning the review, performing the review, and presenting the review (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). The present SLR includes preset inclusion and exclusion criteria (see Figure 1), as recommended by prior literature (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020).…”

“…This SLR focused on four databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and PubMed. These databases are reportedly the most important sources for studies related to medical health informatics (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). Full texts of the studies that appeared relevant were screened for eligibility.…”

“…Healthcare enterprises search for suitable technologies to streamline resources for the sake of improving the patient experience and organisational performance (Tang et al 2019;Wang, Kung, and Byrd 2018;Tandon et al 2020). Healthcare can be conceptualised as a system comprising three constituent parts: (a) core providers of medical care services, such as physicians, nurses, technicians, and hospital administrations (Boudhir, Ben Ahmed, and Soumaya 2017;Zhang, Simon, and Yu 2017); (b) critical services that are associated with medical care services, such as medical research and health insurance (Austin and Kusumoto 2016;Chandola, Sukumar, and Schryver 2013); and (c) beneficiaries of medical care services, i.e., patients and the public (Salomi and Balamurugan 2016;Weng and Kahn 2016).…”

“…The present study aims to address the research gaps in the literature on the use of BDA in healthcare by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) (Dhir et al 2020;Tandon et al 2020;Talwar et al 2020). SLRs have been recognised for their ability to summarise valuable knowledge about a topic of importance (Dhir et al 2020;Talwar et al 2020) and to guide future research on the topic (Dhir et al 2020;Talwar et al 2020).…”

“…The present SLR adopted a protocol for planning, performing, and presenting a review, as followed in prior studies (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). The current status of research on any topic under investigation can be represented in terms of key information, such as the annual distribution of publications, average citation count, top contributors, and methodologies adopted in the reviewed studies (Behera, Bala, and Dhir 2019;Tandon et al 2020). Therefore, the current SLR answered RQ1 by reporting a sample profile of the reviewed studies.…”
