To conduct a scoping review of the application of patient journey maps in the health management of patients with chronic diseases.
Following the scoping review methodology,relevant Chinese and English literature on the application of patient journey maps in the health management of patients with chronic diseases was retrieved from databases including CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,CBM,Cochrane Library,PubMed,CINAHL,EMbase,and Web of Science.The retrieval period spanned from database establishment to August 1,2025.Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted data.
A total of 32 articles were included.Patient journey maps were most commonly used for health management in patients with cancer and cardiovascular diseases.The types of patient journey maps included 5 types,namely the overall patient journey maps,patient psychological(cognitive) model maps,patient-caregiver interaction maps,service blueprint maps,and care environment spatial maps.Presentation formats included 4 types,namely flowcharts,timelines,line graphs,and mixed formats.Application contents included identifying patient needs,identifying service gaps in healthcare,decision-making information support,disease management,transitional care,and assisting in the design and development of tools.
The application of patient journey maps in the health management of patients with chronic diseases has shown positive effects.However,it is still in the preliminary exploration phase.The methodology of patient journey maps has not yet been standardized.High-quality research should be conducted in the future.
