“…Other studies concentrated on developing models to assess the long-term viability and resilience of HSCM in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak (Azadi et al, 2022;Mazingi et al, 2020;Opfermann et al, 2021;Scala and Lindsay, 2021). About 9% of studies are related to the application of techniques or systems design for decision-making (Alizadeh et al, 2022;Govindan et al, 2020;Grida et al, 2020;Sequeiros et al, 2023;Suri et al, 2022;Zamiela et al, 2022) and finally, 2% of the articles evaluate the role of lean practices in HSCM management (Alemsan et al, 2022). Figure 4 shows the number and percentage of participation according to the focus of each of the studies reviewed.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various aspects of society, and research has been published across different sectors beyond healthcare. This article presents the results of a literature review in Hospital Supply Chain management (HSCM) to identify current and future research areas. The literature review identified four main research themes associated with the scope of HSCM, the flow type, and the approaches employed. The results of this study suggest that COVID-19 is a catalyst for short-and long-term changes that require the attention of researchers, strategies to incorporate 4.0 technologies, and integration of different stakeholders to improve the resilience and sustainability of the Supply Chain (SC) in future pandemic scenarios. This paper provides relevant information to the implementation for future research regarding the management of the HSCM for the post-pandemic period.
