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.

Sağlık Sektöründe İnovasyon Performansını Etkileyen Stratejik Boyutlar: Sistematik Literatür Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, sağlık sektöründe ve sağlık kuruluşlarında inovasyon performansını etkileyen boyutları ve kriterleri belirlemek için literatürdeki yansımaları sistematik olarak analiz etmektedir. Bu amaca ulaşmak için Web of Science ve Google Scholar veri tabanlarında 2018-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanan çalışmalar "inovasyon" ve "sağlık hizmetleri" anahtar kelimeleri ile taranmıştır. Tarama kriterlerini karşılayan 1103 çalışmadan 52'si araştırma analizine dahil edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, sağlık sektöründe ve sağlık kuruluşlarında inovasyon performansını etkileyen boyutların organizasyon kültürü, liderlik, insan kaynağı, organizasyon yapısı, bilgi edinme ve bilgi paylaşımı, işbirliği, politika ve yönetim desteği ve teknoloji olarak gruplandırılabileceğini göstermektedir. Çalışma sonucunda her bir boyutun kapsamına ilişkin açıklamalara yer verilmekte ve inovasyon performansını artırmak isteyen sağlık kuruluşlarının hangi alanları geliştirmeye odaklanması gerektiğine ilişkin öneriler sunulmaktadır. Mevcut inovasyon performansını değerlendirmek isteyen sağlık kuruluşlarının bu boyutlar kapsamında ölçüm ve değerlendirme yapabileceği düşünülmektedir.
