Review protocol elements | Authors’ consideration | Results in terms of sources |
|---|---|---|
What is already known? and Research topics | Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a novel topic based on already known knowledge, which has several healthcare implications. Due to its continuous growth, there is the potential for a structured literature review (SLR) investigating how AI can contribute to healthcare implementation | 5069 results |
Journals’ and thematic limitations | We have decided not to limit the research to an individual scientific journal because of the still young scope, as our analysis period. Therefore, our analysis is broad in terms of themes and period under investigation. It considers the following research streams: accounting, business, and management; decision sciences; health professions | 789 results |
Other restrictive elements | Authors selected only peer-reviewed articles and reviews, excluding conference proceedings, books and books chapters. Finally, only sources written in English are considered | 288 results |
