Agile Human Resource Management in Healthcare Organizations: A Scoping Review

This study aims to explore the application of Agile Human Resource Management (Agile HRM) practices within healthcare organizations, identifying key practices, their impact on healthcare performance, and existing research gaps.A scoping review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. From an initial set of 46 articles retrieved from major academic databases, 5 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in detail.The review highlights Agile HRM practices, including iterative planning, continuous improvement, evidence-based decision-making, and fostering self-organized, interdisciplinary teams. These practices are associated with improved service accessibility, reduced patient wait times, enhanced care quality, and higher staff engagement and productivity. However, significant research gaps remain, including the lack of robust empirical studies, limited longitudinal research, and the absence of healthcare-specific frameworks for Agile Human Resource Management.
