Health leadership and management are essential for ensuring resilient health systems. Relevant training opportunities are often scarce, and the use of digital education could help address this gap. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of eLearning for healthcare leadership and management capacity building.
We performed a systematic review on the effectiveness of eLearning for health leadership and management training. We also reviewed literature on relevant competencies and training programmes. We conceptualise the role of health leadership and management capacity building in health system strengthening and explore the use of eLearning in this area.
No evidence was found on the effectiveness of eLearning for health leadership and management capacity guiding. Evidence on health leadership and management education effectiveness in general is scarce and descriptive and reports learning outcomes. We explore how various forms of eLearning can help meet specific requirements of health leadership and management training.
Literature on the effectiveness of health leadership and management education is scarce. The use of eLearning could support this type of training by making it more accessible and tailored. Future research should be carried out in diverse settings, assume experimental designs, evaluate the use of information technology and report health system outcomes.
健康领导力和管理对于确保有弹性的卫生系统至关重要。相关的培训机会往往稀缺，而数字教育的使用可以帮助弥补这一差距。我们的目的是评估电子学习在医疗保健领导力和管理能力建设方面的效果。
我们对电子学习在卫生领导力和管理培训方面的效果进行了系统评价。我们还回顾了相关能力和培训计划的文献。我们将卫生领导力和管理能力建设的作用概念化在卫生系统强化中，并探讨了电子学习在这一领域的应用。
没有发现电子学习在卫生领导力和管理能力指导方面的效果证据。关于一般卫生领导力和管理教育效果的证据稀缺且描述性，报告学习成果。我们探讨了各种形式的电子学习如何帮助满足卫生领导力和管理培训的具体要求。
关于卫生领导力和管理教育效果的文献稀缺。电子学习的使用可以通过使其更具可及性和针对性来支持这种类型的培训。未来的研究应在不同的环境中进行，采用实验设计，评估信息技术的使用情况，并报告卫生系统的结果。
