Trends in research on healthcare facility management: an overview of the last decades

Abstract
The authors have carried out a review of facility management in the health sector researches, through a detailed analysis of the most important publications of recent decades, to identify the main topics developed. The authors obtained more than 200 documents with the bibliographic searches in several databases after consolidating and filtering them. This led the authors to design a methodology to analyze a more select group of publications: the evolution of the most recurrent themes according to the year of publication, the countries and the institutions involved. The results of the analysis of the select group of publications show that interest in facility management in the health sector is on the rise, as well as the number of institutions and authors interested in at least 11 research topics. However, the authors estimate that the topics published in recent decades still do not cover the current demands of hospital institutions.
