Bibliometrics and visualization analysis of quality control research of health checkup / 中华健康管理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the research status, research hotspots and research frontiers of quality control of health checkup in the past 15 years.Methods:Journal literatures with the theme of "Health checkup and Quality control" from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database from 2006 to 2020 were retrieved and analyzed. Excel was used to analyze the time and sequence and discipline distribution of literatures. CiteSpace V software was used for visual analysis of institutions and keywords.Results:A total of 306 literatures were obtained, and the number of literatures published in the past 15 years showed an overall growth trend, with the highest number of literatures published in 2019 (36). They mainly focused on the research of medical and health policies and laws and regulations, clinical medicine, preventive medicine and hygiene and other disciplines, with a few literatures belonging to interdisciplinary disciplines. The top three institutions were Physical Examination Center of Naval General Hospital, Health Management Center of the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, Health Management Research Institute of PLA General Hospital. The institutions with high centrality were Physical Examination Center of Naval General Hospital, Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Health Management, and Chinese Health Management Association and so on. There were fewer cooperative links between institutions. The high-frequency keywords found in 306 literatures were"quality control","health checkup","quality management","health management","physical examination center","Deming Cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Action Cycle, PDCA Cycle)","quality of health checkup", etc."Health management"was the key emergence word in the recent three years.Conclusions:In the past 15 years, the attention on the quality control of health checkup in China has gradually increased, but there is less cross-connection between disciplines and institutions. The research focuses on the internal quality control and the application of advanced management theories in health examination institutions. The transformation from simple health checkup to health management service is the research frontier.
