Excluded Sources From EHealth Privacy Scoping Review

339 technical studies from a scoping review of 1,556 initial records on eHealth privacy in hospitals, published between 2021 and June 2024. The dataset, created by Michael Winter, lists sources excluded from the final analysis. It accompanies a survey of 122 healthcare professionals from Swiss and German hospital networks.

Use Cases

• Analyzing exclusion criteria patterns across the 1,556 initial records to improve review methodology.
• Identifying publication trends in excluded sources on technical (e.g., blockchain, AI) versus organizational privacy measures.
• Cross-referencing excluded sources with the 434 included studies to map the complete literature landscape on hospital eHealth privacy.

Strengths

• Clear provenance from major databases like PubMed, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and Web of Science.
• Accompanied by primary survey data from 122 healthcare professionals in Switzerland and Germany.
• Well-defined temporal scope covering publications from 2021 to June 2024.

Limitations

• Small dataset size of 47.7 KB indicates limited scope, likely containing only a list of excluded sources without detailed content.
• No column information or sample data is available, limiting understanding of the data structure.
• Survey component may have geographic bias, focusing only on Swiss and German hospital networks.
