[General hospitals: inclusion in the healthcare networks, and factors that determine their performance].

The scope of this study was to analyze the inclusion of general hospitals in Healthcare Networks and the factors that determine their participation in these networks. A "scoping review" was conducted with the selection of 14 articles published between January 2011 and June 2018. From the mapping of the results the categories of analysis were constituted: Hospital, regionalization and economy of scale; Fragility of network organization and hospital as first choice; and Hospital and evidence of (dis) integration of the Healthcare Networks.
