Summary of Literature Review 1 :
The aim of the researchers is to focus on the implementation of an agile system,
especially the quality of care in the health care sectors. The research findings suggested that the
agile system is flexible in nature which further enables to respond quickly to the demand of the
patient and market fluctuation a while optimizing the cost of the health care sectors and quality.
The findings suggested that the agile system implement these changes by adopting upgraded toll
for providing quality of care, adopting the innovating process and training. Basically, it offers an
efficient framework to organize as well as govern process movement. While the principles of the
agile system enforced the workflow in the proper orientation, it properly reduces the excessive
workload of the health care staffs to facilitate the efficient framework of a workflow. Hence agile
is shows a new paradigm for those patients who are not able to seek appropriate support because
of low economic status. The research findings also suggest barriers such as Adaptivity, training
Convince staff.

In order to gain the articles for literature review, the researchers used databases such as
ScienceDirect, Interscience, Springer, Emerald with search term include “agile healthcare
organization”, “ agile health management “agile implementation in health care”. After
conducting the search 60 relevant paper were found where inclusion criteria were 2000 to 2017
and focused on the health care sector and agile system. The literature review is segmented in
three sectors such as agile health care delivery, agile health care management, and agile software
development.
Gaps in Literature/ Future Research Ideas:
The gap of the research is that the researchers conducted a literature review in order to
evaluate the application of the system in improving quality of care which further highlighted the
need for conducting experimental result. It will provide the idea that whether the agile principle
is able to improve the quality of care and improve the efficiency of the healthcare professionals.
Application to your GRAD 695 research:
While a high prevalence of disease affected the economic performance of the world, the
delivery of care is something can minimize the affected economy and quality of life. This paper
will assist in adopting the upgraded tools and equipment’s for providing accurate care to the
patients and enforce the equal distribution of workload the organization, ensuring wellbeing of
