    Healthcare organizations have increasingly turned to Lean and Six Sigma (LSS) as management systems to achieve quality and efficiency in patient care. This study aims to classify this body of literature and to discover factors that enable and prevent successful LSS implementations. Peer-reviewed literature in journals that were published through 2018 in English language were sought through a search of multiple databases. The inclusion criterion was broad in that all areas of healthcare and interpretations of LSS were considered. The literature search yielded 368 publications. One third of the studies present a U.S. affiliation and only 19% has been conducted in developing countries. The case study is the most popular study type but only represents around 52% of the body of literature. Lean and the ED are preferred approach and setting, respectively. Factors that enable and prevent successful implementation were grouped by Managerial, Preparation, People, and Project relationships. There is a need for future literature to provide a longitudinal balanced view on the benefits and challenges of implementations, and for studies to follow experimental designs for statistical validity. This is the most inclusive review about LSS in healthcare as it includes different study types, healthcare settings and LSS tools together.

    A State of the Art of Non-fungible Tokens: A Literature Review
    (Springer, 2024-01-01)

    Non-fungible tokens, also known as NFTs, are based on the blockchain and are a type of proprietary digital asset registered on the blockchain, making them unique, irreplaceable, and indivisible assets. This main feature makes up the nascent and emerging phenomenon that has revolutionized the way digital assets are and will be handled in the future. Its success and importance has resonated particularly in the first and second quarter of 2022, and however, the full application and reach of NFTs through its technology in human life are still yet to be discovered. The main objective of this chapter is to inform the audience of developments in the research field, discuss the importance and significance of the issues investigated to analyze the relevance and suitability of the topic in order to inform the audience about its operations, and generate, through the NFTs, economical value and further knowledge for future applications. This is the reason why a systematic review of the literature on the subject of “non-fungible tokens” is carried out based on publications of Scopus indexed journals, with a collection of information from 2017 to 2022.
