Evolución y tendencias investigativas de la gestión de la información en salud

Abstract

Context: Because of the recent pandemic COVID-19, research on management systems health information grew rapidly, underscoring the importance of knowing the investigative trends in these issues to identify the findings and global networks knowledge. Aims: To examine the developments and research trends in information management in health. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was carried out with the 215 results obtained from a search equation performed in the Scopus database. Documents were selected using the inclusion criteria according to the recommendations of the international declaration PRISMA and calculation was performed indicators of quality, quantity, and trend analysis. Results: These were identified as trends: Managing information and knowledge, Educational model/Curriculum design, information-seeking behavior. A research agenda also arises with the themes: reconfiguration of health policies, design and collaborative use in digital resources, telemedicine, meta-analysis tools for decision-making and cloud infrastructures. Conclusions: The United States leads the production in the subject, but there is a gap in Latin America in research in this field of knowledge. Likewise, as new routes in which the research exercise should be deepened are the reconfiguration of health policies, design and collaborative use of digital resources, telemedicine, meta-analysis of tools for decision making and Cloud infrastructures.

Analysis of Publications on Health Information Management Using the Science Mapping Method: A Holistic Perspective

“…According to the HIM literature, there is an evolution in the process of resource management and adaptation to technological change [30]. Although previous reviews have traced these developments [30], it is clear that there is a need for a more comprehensive analysis of this rapidly evolving area of research, whose contribution to the health sector is increasing in parallel with the use of technology. Based on this gap, the aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of publications on HIM using science mapping techniques.…”
