One of the fundamental areas of the tourism industry that has a significant impact on the economy of the host country is medical tourism. Many nations strive to establish a reputation both domestically and abroad. There is intense competition among nations to entice medical tourists, yet the motivating factors and purchasing patterns may be very different for different cultures. Healthcare decision-makers must employ efficient marketing strategies to secure a sustainable market share given the international rise of medical tourism. By interviewing the managers and patients of international hospitals, the current study aims to determine the potential growth of medical services with the idea of medical tourism in Iran. In addition, the basic indicators and significant categories are further distinguished by examining the key stakeholders and the perspectives of international patients toward medical tourism activities in Iran. To the best of our knowledge, the main emphasis in earlier studies was only on time, cost, and quality, although other indicators are needed for stakeholders to be investigated in this area. Despite Iran’s rich natural, historical, and cultural heritage, a long history of political unrest and conflicts between reformists and fundamentalists regarding the benefits of tourism has hurt the industry’s growth. The findings of this study, including the eight categories provided, make medical tourists aware of the cutting-edge technologies being used in the Iranian healthcare sector. It also includes tourist attractions that could be used in future research by employing multicriteria decision-making techniques to identify the most crucial ones for each nation.

“…Evaluation can help humanitarian organizations to assess the impact of their aid efforts, identify areas for improvement, and ensure accountability to donors and other stakeholders. Monitoring and evaluation efforts should be ongoing throughout the project lifecycle (Gupta et al, 2019;Strang & Vajjhala, 2022). Effective project management is critical for responding to humanitarian crises, providing aid to affected communities, and promoting recovery and resilience (Le et al, 2019).…”

This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of the literature on sustainable project management in crisis management, particularly in humanitarian disasters, using the Scopus database. After filtration and abstract screening of 115,737 (1980–2022), only 544 related articles were identified and analyzed graphically using VoSviewer (visualization of similarities) to create maps of co-occurrence, co-authorship, and citations. The analysis provided an understanding of the most frequent keywords, key authors, journals, affiliations, and contributing countries in the literature on project management and crisis management. The trends observed in this study’s results highlight the significance of sustainable project management within the realm of disaster management. This study examines the bibliometric parameters and indices as measures of research success and their potential implications for grant funding sources, universities, governments, and organizations. The findings suggest that bibliometric parameters and indices could be increasingly utilized by grant funding sources as metrics to evaluate research success. Universities and research institutions may consider incorporating benchmarking standards based on bibliometric data into promotion and tenure guidelines to determine academic achievement. Furthermore, governments and organizations may also benefit from establishing benchmark standards to enhance sustainability in disaster management projects. Although Scopus has limitations that prefer certain fields, this study provides avenues for future research, including using other databases and conducting a comparative study between Scopus and WoS (Web of Science) to determine their strengths and weaknesses.

“…The effects of poor-decision making are mostly from financial losses to health risks. For example, poor-decision making may due to factors like cognitive biases is the causes for more than 50% of financial losses in organizations and businesses [15] . The relationship between cognitive biases and decision-making helps people to understand the role of effective decision-making in various fields, like business/healthcare/public policy.…”

This essay explores the relationship between cognitive biases and decisionmaking, drawing on relevant literature to support its arguments. Cognitive biases are systematic errors that individuals make in their thinking [16] , while decision-making involves evaluating and making choices based on available information [13]. It has been estimated that 70% of all decisions made by humans are affected by cognitive biases [10], highlighting the significance of understanding the relationship between the two concepts in various industries and fields, such as business, healthcare, law, and public policy [4] .
