Using social network analysis (SNA) and the performance sheet to explore decision support tools in adult long-term care facilities and author contributions to the field of Geriatrics & Gerontology: Bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A number of reviews have been published concerning clinical decision support systems in long-term care facilities (DSSLTCF). These reviews frequently utilize literature analysis to evaluate the characteristics of DSSLTCF. However, none of the existing research has employed social network analysis (SNA) to classify their features concerning digital innovations aimed at mitigating staff shortages and improving quality. To better understand the current landscape of DSSLTCF, it is crucial to examine the tools currently in use. The objectives of this review are 2-fold: to classify DSSLTCF using cluster analysis, and to identify the authors who have significantly contributed to DSSLTCF research in recent years.
