This study aims to reveal the general framework
of the distribution of subjects of oral and poster presentations presented at
conferences organized by EHMA in the last five years. The EHMA conference is
one of the most comprehensive and respected international conferences in the
field of health management. The research is descriptive. All oral and poster
presentations presented at conferences organized by the European Health
Management Association (EHMA) between 2014-2018 (last five years) were included
in the research. In this study, it was determined that 491 papers were
presented in the last five years, 375 of them were oral presentations and 116
of them were poster presentations. It has been identified that the most
presented topics in the conferences were “disease and treatment management and
patient empowerment” (13.21%), “human resources in health care organizations”
(9.46%) and “organizational behavior in health care organizations” (8.65%). The
least frequently presented topics in the conferences were “drug policies”
(1.31%), “medical device sector” (0.49%) and “health tourism” (0.49%). As this
study reveals the recently studied topics in the field of health management, it
can be an idea for the students who are searching for topics in master theses,
doctoral theses and medical theses, and researchers and academicians working in
the field of health management.
