Abstract

This paper reviews the latest published research in healthcare management. All articles published in the last four years in the top four journals in the field are content analyzed to identify key themes that got published. The three key themes that get published in healthcare journals are: nursing retention; information technology adoption in healthcare; and quality of care. Healthcare management research allows researchers to extend and revise theories through the consideration of new contextual variables. This systematic examination will help to lay the foundation for the further expansion of the understanding of both healthcare management and of management research in general.

Keywords: Healthcare Research, Key themes, Literature Review
