This systematic literature review analyzes and identifies research areas where researchers have already studied the role of intellectual capital (IC) in the healthcare sector. This review also analyzes how they carried out their work to understand future research directions.,The analysis is conducted through a systematic literature review. Therefore, following systematic literature review protocol, it was possible to select 225 papers. An analysis of the content was done to identify the main topics debated and understand what components of IC are the most studied by scholars.,The authors highlight how the components of IC (human capital, structural capital and relational capital) in the healthcare sector have not been discussed with the same frequency and intensity by researchers. The research shows that there are already widely discussed areas, such as structural capital, while other components of IC have remained on the shadow, such as relational capital. Human capital is the most undiscussed component.,The manual analysis of the articles can be considered a limitation of this work.,This systematic literature review makes several useful contributions. First, it enables others to replicate scientific research, thanks to its clear and transparent process. Second, it identifies the main areas of research and the main research methods. It enables researchers to identify which issues their work should address and suggests possible areas for future research.

医疗保健领域知识资本的现状和未来

这份系统的文献综述分析并确定了研究人员已经研究过智力资本（IC）在医疗保健领域中作用的研究领域。这篇综述还分析了他们如何开展工作以了解未来的研究方向。该分析是通过系统的文献综述进行的。因此，遵循系统的文献综述方案，可以选择225篇论文。对内容进行了分析，以确定了辩论的主要话题，并了解了学者们对IC的哪些成分研究最多。作者强调了医疗保健行业中IC的成分（人力资本，结构资本和关系资本）如何具有研究人员没有以相同的频率和强度进行讨论。研究表明，已经有广泛讨论的领域，例如结构资本，而IC的其他组件（例如关系资本）仍然处于阴影之中。人力资本是最没有被讨论的组成部分。文章的手工分析可以被认为是这项工作的局限性。这篇系统的文献综述做出了一些有益的贡献。首先，由于其清晰透明的过程，它使其他人能够复制科学研究。其次，它确定了主要研究领域和主要研究方法。它使研究人员能够确定其工作应解决的问题，并为将来的研究提供建议。文章的手工分析可以被认为是这项工作的局限性。这篇系统的文献综述做出了一些有益的贡献。首先，由于其清晰透明的过程，它使其他人能够复制科学研究。其次，它确定了主要研究领域和主要研究方法。它使研究人员能够确定其工作应解决的问题，并为将来的研究提供建议。文章的手动分析可以被认为是这项工作的局限性。这篇系统的文献综述做出了一些有益的贡献。首先，由于其清晰透明的过程，它使其他人能够复制科学研究。其次，它确定了主要研究领域和主要研究方法。它使研究人员能够确定其工作应解决的问题，并为将来的研究提供建议。
