Strategic Dimensions Affecting to Innovation Performance in the Healthcare Sector: A Systematic Literature Analysis

Abstract

The study systematically analyzes the literature's reflections to determine the dimensions and criteria affecting innovation performance in the healthcare sector and healthcare organizations. In order to achieve this goal, studies published between 2018 and 2022 in the Web of Science and Google Scholar databases are searched with the keywords "innovation" and "healthcare.” Out of 1,103 studies, 52 that met the screening criteria are included in the research analysis. The results show that the dimensions affecting innovation performance in the health sector and health institutions can be grouped as organizational culture, leadership, human resources, organizational structure, knowledge acquisition and knowledge sharing, cooperation, policy and management support, and technology. As a result of the study, explanations of the scope of each dimension are given, and suggestions are presented as to which areas healthcare organizations that want to increase their innovation performance should focus on improving. It is thought that healthcare organizations that want to evaluate their current innovation performance can also measure and assess within the scope of the exact dimensions.
