Inclusion and exclusion criteria were implemented. “Healthcare, management, innovation, AI, progress, long-term” was the combination of indexing words that was used. Results: Based on the undertaken search, a total of ten studies met the eligibility criteria as for the specific systematic review. Regarding the analysis of these ten studies, two were cross-sectional studies, two were qualitative studies, one was a qualitative interview study, one was a qualitative research through face-to-face survey, one was a quantitative study, one was a descriptive survey design, one was a study based on longitudinal data, and one was a study employing a multimethod qualitative approach. Conclusion: The role of innovation in healthcare management for long-term progress is pretty valuable.
