“… 91 Of the five literature reviews two were focused on the association between FP and Q, 15 , 16 yet covered a rather broad FP definition (eg, including studies where only costs and/or revenue indicators were used). One review focused on the association between the hospital’s clinical technology and financial outcomes 33 while the remaining two provided a rather broad overview of studies on different organizational (including Q) and environmental factors affecting hospital FP. 32 , 34 The two theoretical papers 30 , 31 provided descriptions of multidimensional conceptual frameworks linking elements of quality and financial measures.…”

Background: Improving the quality of hospital care is an important policy objective. Hospitals operate under pressure to contain costs and might face challenges related to financial deficits. The objective of this paper was to identify and map the available evidence on the association between hospital financial performance (FP) and quality of care (Q). Methods: A scoping review was performed. Searches were conducted in 7 databases: Medline via PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, EconLit, ABI/INFORM, and Business Source Complete. The search strategy combined multiple terms from 3 topics: hospital AND FP AND Q. The collected data were analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Results: 10,503 records were screened and 151 full text papers analysed. A total of 69 papers were included (60 empirical, 2 theoretical, 5 literature reviews, and 2 dissertations). The majority of identified studies were published within the last decade (2010-2021). Most empirical studies had been conducted in the US (55/60), used cross-sectional approaches (32/60) and applied diverse regression models with FP measures as dependent variables, thus measuring the impact of Q on hospitals FP (34/60). The comparability of the studies’ results is limited due to differences in applied methods and settings. Yet, the general overview shows that in almost half of the cases the association between hospital FP and Q was positive, while no study showed a clear negative association. Conclusion: This scoping review provides an overview of the available literature on the association between hospital FP and Q. The results highlight numerous research gaps: (1) systematic reviews and meta-analyses of existing studies with similar measures of FP and Q are unavailable, (2) further methodological/conceptual work is needed on the metrics measuring hospital FP and Q, and (3) more empirical studies should analyse the association between FP and Q in non-US health care settings.

Digital transformation underscored by the fourth industrial revolution has led to the emergence of sophisticated technology-enabled financial services known as fintech, that has swiftly altered traditional financial services space. Global adoption of fintech is rapidly increasing due to its disruptive nature and is largely embraced by participants who are underserved by traditional financial service providers. Global investments in fintech are growing rapidly year by year owing to increased interconnectivity with the digital revolution. Fintech is expansive, engulfing a plethora of innovative applications in various services including payments, financing, asset management, insurance, etc. There exists a gap in the literature and visualization research on impact and future pathway of fintech innovations in payments and financial services and role of financial regulations. This study aims to enrich the understanding of fintech innovations in payments and financing and investigate the correlation and significance of regulatory framework in maintaining a fair ecosystem. With this objective, an extant systematic review was performed using research articles published in peer-reviewed journals for the period 2014–2022 when there has been a burgeoning of interest in ‘fintech’ globally. The findings of this study contribute to the theoretical constructs of fintech innovations in the financial services industry and show that such innovations play a crucial role in shaping the nature of future of business. The results of this study have implications for researchers who could deploy this research as a reference point to get a holistic insight and a detailed mapping of innovations in fintech.

Background: Public hospitals hold a key role in providing health care services especially to individuals without health insurance, those who are partially covered by health insurance, and low income population.However, some of these hospitals have converted to private status. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of the ownership conversion of public hospitals into private status on the provision of high-technology health services.Methods: This study used a non-experimental longitudinal design based on merged secondary data from the American Hospital Association annual survey, the Area Health Resources File, and the Local Area Unemployment Statistics [1997][1998][1999][2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013]. The dependent variable "high-technology health services" was measured using Saidin index. There were 492 non-federal acute care public hospitals (n=8,335 hospital-year observations) in our sample, of which 104 (21%) converted to private status (75 converted to private not-for-profit and 29 converted to for-profit hospitals). The independent variable "privatization" referred to ownership conversion from public to either private not-for-profit or private for-profit status. We ran two fixed-effects linear regressions to measure the impact of privatization on high-technology services offering. Results:Our key findings suggested that privatization was associated with a decrease in Saidin index
