Abstract
ObjectiveTo reveal the research hotspots in hospital supply chain management in China and explore how supply chain management can facilitate the high-quality development of public hospitals.
MethodsBibliometric analysis method was employed, retrieving the Chinese literature on hospital supply chain management from 2000 to 2022 from CNKI, WeiPu, and WanFang databases. Descriptive analysis and cluster analysis of high-frequency keywords were conducted.
ResultsThrough cluster analysis of 34 high-frequency keywords in the 1 113 Chinese literature, it was found that current research on hospital supply chain management mainly focused on 7 research hotspots: big data information systems, procurement management, risk management, refined management, inventory management, supplier management, and traceability management.
ConclusionsFuture research could focus on construction of hospital supply chain performance evaluation systems, digital technology-driven supply chain transformation and upgrading, enhancing hospital supply chain resilience under risks, and sustainable supply chain management.
