Educational Reforms and Healthcare Competitiveness through Data-Driven Analysis
Abstract
The study deals with the important question of how educational reforms affect healthcare competitiveness, especially when it comes to medical education. The primary study goal is to investigate the connection between improvements to the educational system and the calibre of medical care. To provide a thorough examination of trends over previous ten years, the study focusses on a dataset of 2,646 articles published between 2013 and 2023, taken from the WoS and Scopus databases. The necessity to record current and pertinent advancements in medical education and healthcare justifies the selection of this time frame. The CiteSpace and Biblioshiny programs were applied to conduct a bibliometric analysis, enabling the identification and visualisation of significant patterns and trends in the literature. The research hypothesis was verified by the analysis, which showed a strong association between educational changes and increases in healthcare quality. According to the report, health literacy, health disparities, and medical education are the most important topics. Improving healthcare competitiveness depends on these areas. Policymakers, educators, and healthcare administrators can benefit from the research findings because they offer evidence-based perspectives that can direct future medical education reforms to enhance healthcare outcomes and system competitiveness. The results also point to potential prospects for future investigation, especially when evaluating the long-term effects of educational reforms on international healthcare systems.
