Identifying resilience strategies for disruption management in the healthcare supply chain during COVID-۱۹ by digital innovations: a systematic literature review

Background and aims: The vast and worldwide spread of the COVID-۱۹ disease has a catastrophiceffect on healthcare supply chains. The Innovative technologies can impact considerably;nonetheless, the literature demonstrates that the utilization of these tools is still in a growing stage.Thus, supply chain management studies face challenges related to novel technology usage. Onedominant obstacle identified in the literature is the absence of a resilience strategy informing policymakersabout the application of innovative technology in the healthcare sector. This researchaims to bridge the knowledge gap in the healthcare SCM literature concerning the use of innovativetechnologies for risk management.Method: The current manuscript systematically analysis existing studies mitigating strategies fordisruption management in the healthcare supply chain in COVID-۱۹. This SLR was conductedin ۳ phases, Phase ۱; planning the SLR, determining the need for an SLR, defining research question(s), identifying the relevant bibliographic databases, Phase ۲; conducting the review, studyselection, data extraction and synthesis, Phase ۲; analysis the results.The results: Using a systematic approach, we recognized ۳۵ related papers. There is rising demandand popularity of healthcare SCM in COVID-۱۹, the United States and China publishedmost of the papers about the technology-driven approaches in SCM in healthcare. Artificial Intelligence(AI), Blockchain, big data analytics and simulation were the most prominent technologiesthat used in supply chain management in health care.Conclusion: The finding reveals that the published researches mainly concentrated to generatingresilience planes to the management of COVID-۱۹ impacts. Furthermore, the vulnerability ofhealthcare supply chains and the necessity of setting better resilience methods are emphasized inmost of the researches. However, researches examining the practical application of these emergingtools for managing disturbance and warranting resilience in the supply chain are rarely examined.This article provides directions for additional research, which can guide researchers to developand organize impressive studies related to the healthcare supply chain for different disaster.
