Abstract

Purpose: In light that sustainable business models started gaining attention in academic literature in recent years, our work aims to identify, quantify, and qualitatively analyze research directions in peer-reviewed scientific literature focusing on sustainable business models in healthcare to date. Methods: A combination of systematic literature review methods and qualitative and quantitative content analysis tools was used to create out bibliometric review. Scopus and EBSCO databases were selected as a data source. Scimago ranking system was used to assess the quality of the journals. Results: In total, and after de-duplication, 146 articles were identified relevant. Keyword analysis resulted in (economics, commercial phenomena, telemedicine) as the highest used. Journals International Journal of Integrated Care and Journal of the American Pharmacists Association: JAPhA came out as top publishing journals in the field. The top cited article was “Biobankonomics: Developing a sustainable business model approach for the formation of a human tissue Biobank” which was written by Vaught J. et al. Top journal disciplines publishing in the field were medicine, health policy, and pharmacology. A percentage of 49 of published research was published in Q1 journals. Governmental perspective was dominant with 72% of the articles addressing a country-level action. Information technology field was the most researched topic with 33% of the articles addressing topics such as telemedicine and IoT interventions. Conclusions: The most influential articles, journals, and topics in the field were highlighted. More than two-thirds of the highest-quality articles addressed a governmental perspective rather than an industrial perspective. The field of research appears to be multidisciplinary which shows clearly in both the keyword and disciplines analysis.
