The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted the necessity of practicing Evidence-based Management (EBMgt) as an approach to decision-making in hospital settings. The literature, however, provides limited insight into the process of EBMgt and its contextual nuances. Such insight is critical for better leveraging EBMgt in practice. Therefore, the authors' aim was to integrate the literature on the process of EBMgt in hospital settings, identify the gaps in knowledge and delineate areas for future research.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The authors conducted a systematic scoping review using an innovative methodology that involved two systematic searches. First using EBMgt terminology and second using terminology associated with the EBMgt concept, which the authors derived from the first search.
The authors identified 218 relevant articles, which using content analysis, they mapped onto the grounded model of the EBMgt process; a novel model of the EBMgt process developed by Sahakian and colleagues. The authors found that the English language literature provides limited insight into the role of managers' perceptions and motives in EBMgt, the practice of EBMgt in Global South countries, and the outcomes of EBMgt. Overall, this study's findings indicated that aspects of the decision-maker, context and outcomes have been neglected in EBMgt.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The authors contributed to the EBMgt literature by identifying these gaps and proposing future research areas and to the systematic review literature by developing a novel scoping review method.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行凸显了在医院环境中实践循证管理（EBMgt）作为决策方法的必要性。然而，文献对于 EBMgt 及其背景细节的过程提供的见解有限。这种见解对于在实践中更好地利用 EBMgt 至关重要。因此，作者的目的是整合关于医院环境中 EBMgt 过程的文献，确定知识差距，并划定未来研究领域。
设计/方法/方法：作者使用一种创新的方法进行了系统的范围界定审查，该方法涉及两次系统搜索。首先使用 EBMgt 术语，其次使用与 EBMgt 概念相关的术语，作者从第一次搜索中得出了这个术语。
作者确定了 218 篇相关文章，通过内容分析，将这些文章映射到 EBMgt 过程的基础模型上；这是 Sahakian 及其同事开发的 EBMgt 过程的新模型。作者发现，英语文献对管理者在 EBMgt 中的感知和动机、全球南方国家的 EBMgt 实践以及 EBMgt 的结果的作用提供的见解有限。总的来说，这项研究的结果表明，决策者、背景和结果的各个方面在 EBMgt 中被忽视了。
原创性/价值：作者通过确定这些差距并提出未来的研究领域，为 EBMgt 文献做出了贡献，并通过开发一种新的范围界定审查方法为系统审查文献做出了贡献。
