Abstract
The healthcare sector is faced with a number of challenges including a growing and aging population, more people living with multiple long term illnesses and staff shortages. These challenges together with calls to improve efficiency and quality of care, the sector has turned to smart healthcare management strategies as a potential solution. The objective of this review is to systematically check published literature to identify and compile a comprehensive list of drivers that have intensified the adoption of smart healthcare management strategies. Knowledge of drivers for smart healthcare adoption is important to healthcare policymakers, leaders and clinicians wishing to adopt smart healthcare management strategies. EBSCOhost, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct and ProQuest were searched for full text, peer reviewed, English language articles that reported the drivers for adopting smart healthcare. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were used to select eligible articles. After the full screening, 17 articles that met the criteria were analysed and used to identify 8 key drivers for adopting smart healthcare management strategies. The identified drivers are improved patient safety, improved delivery of care, cost savings, increased access to healthcare services, enhanced communication, enhanced data management and security, incentives or penalties and regulatory compliance. It is concluded that future research is needed in identifying key smart healthcare management strategies and challenges faced when adopting smart healthcare management strategies.
