Abstract

This article aims to analyze the literature regarding the implementation of lean production in healthcare organizations, seeking to review articles in international journals indexed in the ISI Web of Science. Systematic Literature Network Analysis was used to map the literature in relation to variables such as the most influential authors, evolution of publications, prominent countries, journals that are more relevant and co-citation analysis. The research analyzed 95 articles, being 82 articles of applied research and 13 reviews. The results of the research show that there is a concentration of publication by the same authors, including many of the co-cited articles that are part of the sample. Similarly, there was a predominance of articles by American researchers, published in healthcare journals. With the review, it was possible to observe research trends in the area and propose thematic areas for future research.
