The benefits and challenges of Implementing Smart hospital projects: A systematic Review

Humans have always tried to look after themselves and their families since the beginning of time. The more the fourth industrial revolution is spreading and transforming practically every industry, the more it is difficult for any discipline to avoid adapting and changing key strategies and processes. Engineering techniques to deliver healthcare services coinciding with the development of medical equipment that requires less human interaction are gaining popularity around the world. Clinical processes, management systems, and infrastructure in smart hospitals are optimized, redesigned, or built entirely new. The aim of this study is to explore the benefits and challenges of smart hospital deployment. A Methodical Literature Review was used where 42 existing publications were analysed. The research databases and keywords were iteratively considered. The review analysis revealed that while the healthcare sector seeks new ways to improve internal procedures, personnel efficiency, productivity, and communication to achieve better results, it must maintain a laser-like focus on improving care quality. By adding smart technology into the care framework, it will boost patient satisfaction and improve patient care. Smart healthcare provides patients with more efficient and preventive care. Doctors may not have to wait for the patient to need medical help before they can help. They can now use technological monitoring gadgets to prevent critical hygienic issues from occurring.
