(1) Background: Quality of care (QC) is not only about satisfying patients, but also about satisfying the various health system stakeholders (HSS). This makes it a complex and difficult objective to achieve. This study aims at proposing a methodological framework for identifying HSS, prioritizing them in QC, and analyzing their interrelationships. (2) Methods: The proposed framework is the mixed-method 5W2D approach, which uses a combination of three basic methods: the 5W questioning technique (What, Who, Why, Where, and When), the Delphi method, and the Decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. It consists of three interdependent phases. First of all, a preliminary list of HSS is established based on a systematic literature review, which is then projected and adapted to the national context using the 5W questioning technique. Secondly, the identified HSS are classified in order according to their influence and impact on QC by employing Delphi method. Thirdly, the interrelationships between HSS are determined and analyzed by applying DEMATEL technique. An application of 5W2D is conducted in the Moroccan context as its health system involves a wide range of stakeholders. (3) Results: Results defined 17 groups of HSS, whose prioritization led to three groups that are at the core of the health system: patients and their families, health personnel, and government. Roles and expectations of these groups regarding QC are divergent and contradictory, which require making trade-offs. The findings of this study intend to guide the development of inclusive strategies and policies that involve key stakeholders for QC assessment and improvement.

“…The SD is based on three aspects: The environmental factor, according to [21], [22] energy demand and CO2 emissions are among the characteristics frequently of this factor. The economic factor, which reflects the total cost or net income as indicators [7] and [31], and the social factor which involves health, safety standards as well as employment rights, [24], [28], [29]. This factor has generally been recognized as the weakest "pillar" of sustainable development [23].…”

“…The economic factor by 80% (see Fig 6), using terminology that pertains to sustainability's economic component. In the other hand six definitions ( [16], [7], [24], [37], [38], and [39]) specifically mentioned the triple bottom line's. Only one article [36] focused on combinations of the environmental aspect with a focus on renewable energy and economic factors with a focus on product development, channel choice, management decisions, purchasing, production challenges, transportation, government and industry regulation, access to finance, and management consulting.…”

“…According to [1]- [6], expectations for supply chain management have moved beyond basic economic concerns to include topics such as fair working conditions and sustainable ecological growth. This overlaps with sustainable development, which is generally considered to have economic, environmental, and social dimensions and is defined as "progress that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" [7], [8]. The manufacturing and distribution of the product from the initial supplier to the final customer is controlled by supply chain management, which is defined as "the management of the value chain that includes both the movements and tasks of physical and information flows" [9], [1] [10], [11].…”

The purpose of this literature review is to compare the difference between the concept of green supply chain management (GSCM) and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in relation to the factors of sustainable development and supply chain management in the literature. In order to achieve this objective, we proposed three factors of sustainable development and five factors of supply chain management. Based on these factors, the analysis of 20 definitions of GSCM and SSCM identified is performed. The results showed that the differences between the two concepts are that GSCM definitions are generally based on environmental factors. While the SSCM definitions are based on the three levers of Sustainable Development (SD) (environmental, economic and social) at the same time. However, the flow and the stakeholder factors present the similarities between the two approaches. Consequently, studying two approaches mutually can provide the companies the possibility to choose the implementation of GSCM or SSCM approach, which can help manufacturing practitioners in their decisions to increase their sustainable development goals.
