University of London is the most productive institution with the highest total citations and H-Index. <i>BMC Health Services Research</i> ranks first as the most productive journal, followed by <i>European Journal of Operational Research</i> and <i>Production and Operations Management</i>. Through the analysis of hot articles, we can conclude that how to reduce the impact of no-shows on the sustainability of service systems has become the main research direction. In addition to appointment scheduling, other effective methods are also mentioned. Further study on these methods will be a major research direction in the future.https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/10/3997health-careno-showsbibliometricsappointment systemappointment schedulingoverbooking |
