Objective: Associating value with Information Technology (IT) has been a longstanding challenge in healthcare. Since the 1970s, numerous researchers have attempted to explore this relationship from various angles. The ultimate goal is to provide insights that will help healthcare organizations had better comprehend the value generated by IT investments. Methods: This involves conducting a bibliometric analysis of existing research on IT value in healthcare to understand how these technologies contribute to value creation. Additionally, by using content analysis mobilizing VOSviewer software, the study aims to categorize and better define the concept of IT value within healthcare. Results: The findings reveal that the value generated by IT in healthcare can be categorized into three distinct categories: organizational value, economic and financial value and social value. Conclusion: These findings could contribute to a better understanding of the origins and trends of IT value in healthcare, enabling future researchers to focus their studies on the contribution of healthcare information technologies more effectively.
