Healthcare 4.0 implementation: opportunities and challenges in the healthcare sector
Walter Satyro
Healthcare 4.0 is the application of Industry 4.0 principles in healthcare, enabling real-time personalization of patient care. Although it has gained relevance in recent years due to the benefits of Industry 4.0, the concept is still little known by professionals in the Brazilian and international health sector. Using the literature review method and survey research with 26 experts in Healthcare 4.0, this study aims to identify opportunities and challenges in Healthcare 4.0 implementation projects in the health sector in Brazil. The relevance of this study is the identification of the main opportunities found: digital technology facilitates the collection of patient data; the strategic implementation of Healthcare 4.0 can bring competitive advantages to the organization; and the main challenges: the need for digital training of healthcare professionals for Healthcare 4.0, and the need to motivate everyone involved to adopt Healthcare 4.0, contributing to theory. The practical contr...

In recent years, healthcare systems have faced problems procuring medicines, and medical materials, cooperation with suppliers, rising costs, and disposal of medical waste. One of the health system's goals is optimisation without reducing the quality of service for the patient. Supply chain and logistics, a scientific and economic activity that optimises supply, storage, inventory management, transportation, demand forecasting, and distribution, have played a significant role in optimising the health system in the last few years. Motivated by the recent pandemic of COVID 19 and resulting supply, storage and inventory problems, a review of selected scientific literature available on scientific databases ScienceDirect of Elsevier and Web of Science of Clarivate Analytics was conducted. Scientific literature dealing with medical waste and connected logistic activities were included in the review. A growing trend of research in this field has been perceived in the last three years, thus proving that the real healthcare sector is becoming aware of logistics problems and their importance.

Effects of Lean Interventions Supported by Digital Technologies on Healthcare Services: A Systematic Review
Diego Tlapa
Despite the increasing utilization of lean practices and digital technologies (DTs) related to Industry 4.0, the impact of such dual interventions on healthcare services remains unclear. This study aims to assess the effects of those interventions and provide a comprehensive understanding of their dynamics in healthcare settings. The methodology comprised a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines, searching for lean interventions supported by DTs. Previous studies reporting outcomes related to patient health, patient flow, quality of care, and efficiency were included. Results show that most of the improvement interventions relied on lean methodology followed by lean combined with Six Sigma. The main supporting technologies were simulation and automation, while emergency departments and laboratories were the main settings. Most interventions focus on patient flow outcomes, reporting positive effects on outcomes related to access to service and utilization of services, incl...

Professional Competence and Its Effect on the Implementation of Healthcare 4.0 Technologies: Scoping Review and Future Research Directions
Roberto Vassolo
Background: The implementation of Healthcare 4.0 technologies faces a number of barriers that have been increasingly discussed in the literature. One of the barriers presented is the lack of professionals trained in the required competencies. Such competencies can be technical, methodological, social, and personal, contributing to healthcare professionals managing and adapting to technological changes. This study aims to analyse the previous research related to the competence requirements when adopting Healthcare 4.0 technologies. Methods: To achieve our goal, we followed the standard procedure for scoping reviews. We performed a search in the most important databases and retrieved 4976 (2011–present) publications from all the databases. After removing duplicates and performing further screening processes, we ended up with 121 articles, from which 51 were selected following an in-depth analysis to compose the final publication portfolio. Results: Our results show that the competence...
