“…The later changes basically are driven by the current trends in and challenges for medical care. 70 Similar to earlier redesigns, each of the examined workflow transformations was associated with improved workflow efficiency and/or improved patient satisfaction. In the long-term, further improvements can potentially be based on hospital workflow optimization via either the more extensive implementation of best practices in workflow innovations or through less known instruments, such as, for example, k-means clustering.…”

This study aims to identify medical care transformations during the COVID-19 pandemic and to assess the economic efficiency of these care transformations. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviewing and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The databases used in the search protocol included PubMed, RSCI, and Google Scholar. Results: Ten eligible studies in English and one publication in Russian were identified. In general, the following changes in organization of health care processes since 2020 are observed: hospital at home, telemedicine (physician-to-patient), and the adoption of new information communication technologies within physician-to-physician and physician-to-nurse communication. Earlier trends, such as (a) wider use of electronic devices, (b) adoption of Lean techniques, (c) the incorporation of patient and other customer experience feedback, and (d) the implementation of clinical decision support systems and automation of workflow, tend to be preserved. Conclusion:The most common changes in hospital care organization and the respective impacts of workflow changes (ie, workflow interventions, redesign, and transformations) on the efficiency of hospital care were summarized and avenues for future research and policy implications were discussed. The pandemic demonstrated a need for building more resilient and adaptive healthcare systems, enhancing crisis preparedness along with rapid and effective responses.

“…The Chinese healthcare security system and medicine have developed rapidly over the last two decades ( Jakovljevic et al, 2023 ; Jakovljevic et al, 2021 ), and healthcare-related sectors have been subjected to several reforms ( Micah et al, 2021 ). Moreover, China ranks first among the BRICS countries in growth rate ( Jakovljevic, 2014 ; Timofeyev et al, 2023 ), and China's healthcare expenditure has increased at a faster pace in tandem with the nation's economic development ( Jakovljevic, Wang, & Adhikari, 2023 ; Sahoo et al, 2023 ). The continuous improvement of the healthcare system has reduced the health-related disparities in China's population ( Jakovljevic et al, 2016 , Jakovljevic et al, 2022 ).…”
