Abstract
Background/Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector is receiving attention from research
ers and health professionals. Few previous studies have investigated this topic from a multi-disciplinary perspective,
including accounting, business and management, decision sciences and health professions.
Methods: The structured literature review with its reliable and replicable research protocol allowed the researchers
to extract 288 peer-reviewed papers from Scopus. The authors used qualitative and quantitative variables to analyze
authors, journals, keywords, and collaboration networks among researchers. Additionally, the paper benefited from
the Bibliometrix R software package.
Results: The investigation showed that the literature in this field is emerging. It focuses on health services manage
ment, predictive medicine, patient data and diagnostics, and clinical decision-making. The United States, China, and
the United Kingdom contributed the highest number of studies. Keyword analysis revealed that AI can support physicians in making a diagnosis, predicting the spread of diseases and customizing treatment paths.
Conclusions: The literature reveals several AI applications for health services and a stream of research that has not
fully been covered. For instance, AI projects require skills and data quality awareness for data-intensive analysis and
knowledge-based management. Insights can help researchers and health professionals understand and address
future research on AI in the healthcare field.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Healthcare, Patient data, Clinical decision-making, Management
