ABSTRACT

The current study performs a systematic literature review (SLR) to synthesise prior research on the applicability of big data analytics (BDA) in healthcare. The SLR examines the outcomes of 41 studies, and presents them in a comprehensive framework. The findings from this study suggest that applications of BDA in healthcare can be observed from five perspectives, namely, health awareness among the general public, interactions among stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem, hospital management practices, treatment of specific medical conditions, and technology in healthcare service delivery. This SLR recommends actionable future research agendas for scholars and valuable implications for theory and practice.

摘要

当前的研究进行了系统的文献综述（SLR），以综合先前关于大数据分析（BDA）在医疗保健中的适用性的研究。SLR检查了41项研究的结果，并在一个全面的框架中进行了介绍。这项研究的结果表明，可以从五个角度观察BDA在医疗保健中的应用，即公众的健康意识，医疗保健生态系统中利益相关者之间的互动，医院管理实践，特定医疗条件的治疗以及医疗保健技术服务交付。该SLR为学者们推荐了可行的未来研究议程，以及对理论和实践的宝贵启示。
