The aim of the study is to determine the frequency and usage of the TRIZ method, which companies have recently used in order to develop creative solutions to the problems of the sector, and to offer suggestions that will increase the use of TRIZ in the healthcare sector by emphasizing their effectiveness in practice. In the study, two separate literature scans were made. Firstly, academic publications published between 2004-2019 with the main themes of “TRIZ” and “Contradiction Matrix” were scanned through the Web of Science database and a total of 161 publications were reached. Relevant publications have been analyzed by scientific fields and the scope of the study has been expanded a bit to further detail its use in the healthcare sector, and the Google Scholar database has been examined in the second scan. As a result of the study; Although TRIZ is a method used mostly in technical fields, it has been observed that it has been used in the service sector in recent years. As the reason why TRIZ is not widely used in the service sector, it is seen that TRIZ parameters mostly evoke technical fields. In order to benefit from the effectiveness and benefits of TRIZ method in practice, the health services sector is also recommended to harmonize TRIZ methodologies for use in the service sector.
