The Governance of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Healthcare Supply Chain Management

Healthcare Supply Chain Management (HSCM) advances the overarching societal objective of creating a sustainable system; however, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data (BD) have become essential facilitators of governance performance. Therefore, this chapter offers a comprehensive overview for AI and BD integration in HSCM with governance implications using PRISMA and SWOT frameworks to synthesize foundational studies published between 2015 and 2025. The results indicate that AI and BD support accurate predictions, optimize processes, and make overall systems resilient. However, ongoing challenges—such as data interoperability, algorithmic transparency, cybersecurity risks, and ethical governance—still hinder effective implementation. Finally, the study embraces theoretical principles and validation with governance-focused assessments, suggesting a sustainable use of AI and BD in HSCM co-benefits.
