Role of visual analytics in supporting mental healthcare systems research and policy: A systematic scoping review

作者：

Highlights：

• Visual analytics is needed for mental healthcare systems research and policy.

• Majority of studies use geographical maps for geospatial and descriptive analyses.

• Descriptive graphs are supportive but not comprehensive for complex information.

• Novel visualizations are required for exploring more complex abstract information.

• Visual analytics has low impact for complex questions in healthcare systems research.
