Summary
This study identifies the most practical environmental scanning model for healthcare literature. It provides a structured approach for health system managers to make evidence-based decisions by analyzing data and identifying trends.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Public Health
- Information Science
Background:
- Environmental scanning is crucial for assessing community needs and informing healthcare programs and policies.
- Existing literature highlights the utility of environmental scanning in healthcare settings.
- A practical model for healthcare environmental scanning requires systematic identification and synthesis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and evaluate the most practical model for conducting environmental scanning within the healthcare literature.
- To synthesize findings from existing studies to propose an optimal framework for healthcare environmental scanning.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review was conducted in 2023, adhering to the PRISMA guideline.
- A systematic search strategy was developed with librarians and executed across five major electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase).
- Two independent reviewers screened 7243 retrieved articles, progressing from title/abstract to full-text review, resulting in the inclusion of 5 relevant studies.
Main Results:
- The review identified 5 highly relevant studies on environmental scanning in healthcare.
- The model proposed by Bednar and colleagues represents the most recent and advanced approach.
- A consensus emerged, with most studies outlining six core steps for conducting environmental surveys in healthcare systems.
Conclusions:
- The identified environmental scanning model offers a practical framework for healthcare decision-makers.
- This model facilitates data collection, analysis, and interpretation to identify key trends.
- It supports evidence-based decision-making for health system managers and policymakers.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
