Abstract Abstract
Background: Despite the underrepresentation of women in healthcare leadership, there is limited evidence on impactful organisational strategies, practices, and policies to advance women's careers. This study aimed to explore such strategies across various sectors, providing insights into measurably advancing women in leadership roles in healthcare.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Medline via OVID; Medline in-process and other non-indexed citations via OVID; PsycINFO, and SCOPUS from January 2000 to March 2021. The methods were outlined in a published protocol registered a priori on PROSPERO (CRD42020162115). Eligible studies reported on organizational interventions for advancing women in leadership with at least one measurable outcome. Two reviewers independently assessed the studies. Identified interventions were categorized, and a meta-synthesis was completed following the 'ENhancing Transparency in REporting the synthesis of Qualitative research' (ENTREQ) statement.
Findings: The search identified 952 potentially relevant records, supplemented by an additional 76 records from other sources. After eliminating duplicates and conducting an initial review of titles and abstracts, 834 records were excluded, leaving 142 records for a thorough screening of full texts. Among these, 75 articles were further excluded for various reasons: 12 were not on the main topic, 10 involved medical students, 46 were personal commentaries or opinion papers, and 7 were not empirical. This process resulted in the selection of 48 articles that met eligibility criteria and underwent detailed analysis.
Interpretation: This review establishes an evidence base on organizational interventions for advancing women in leadership across diverse settings, offering valuable lessons for healthcare. It transcends individual focus to target organizational change, capturing measurable outcomes across intervention categories. The findings directly inform a national initiative with international links, aiming to enable women to achieve their career goals in healthcare, and shifts the focus from barriers to solutions.
