Abstract

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare systems continue to face persistent risks, highlighting the need to implement effective risk management systems to ensure safe practice. By combining bibliometric analysis with a systematic literature review, the article identifies and classifies risk management approaches examined in the context of health crises, as well as the barriers and success factors influencing their implementation. The database used comprises 541 publications extracted from the Web of Science, and the analysis was conducted using the RStudio software through the Biblioshiny interface. The application of the PRISMA-P 2020 methodology enables the identification of major research trends, applied methodologies, and insufficiently explored areas in the existing literature. The study highlights the interconnection between risk management and the continuity of healthcare services, with particular emphasis on the role of strategic planning and digital tools in mitigating the impact of health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The conclusions provide relevant benchmarks for future research directions and for improving decision-making processes within healthcare organisations.
