• The synthesis will combine qualitative and quantitative findings through a narrative synthesis identifying recurring themes, benefits, limitations, and contextual factors. — Application of process mining in healthcare logistics: a systematic literature review protocol
• Single-site case reports or small pilots will be presented as emerging patterns or promising practices rather than generalisable causal effects. — Application of process mining in healthcare logistics: a systematic literature review protocol
• The extraction process will explicitly record both intended process-mining objectives and actual reported outcomes, classifying their alignment as full, partial, or absent. — Application of process mining in healthcare logistics: a systematic literature review protocol
• Conference papers and case reports are included in the review because they may reveal early implementations and innovative methods in operational settings where formal research is still limited. — Application of process mining in healthcare logistics: a systematic literature review protocol
• The review is intentionally framed as a systematic mapping and configurative synthesis rather than only a conventional effectiveness review, due to the emerging nature of the field. — Application of process mining in healthcare logistics: a systematic literature review protocol
• If eligible literature is sparse, that scarcity will itself be treated as an important finding about fragmentation, concentration, or underdevelopment in the field. — Application of process mining in healthcare logistics: a systematic literature review protocol
