Title: | Challenges in organizing a Belgian reference hospital to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic: A case report | Authors: | Van Slambrouck, Louis HELLINGS, Johan |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | WILEY | Source: | INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTH PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT, 37(2), p. 604-609 | Abstract: | The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in an enormous influx of seriously ill patients in the hospitals worldwide. After its initial impact in Asia, Europe also suffered greatly. Caring for COVID-19 patients whist maintaining treatment for patients with other conditions was a complex planning and management challenge. A series of interventions has been implemented to increase hospital capacity in response to the pandemic. Hospital provision interventions included the purchase of equipment, the establishment of additional hospital facilities and the redeployment of staff and other resources. Ensuring safe and high quality care to both COVID-19 patients and those with other conditions was a crucial aspect of the Belgian response in this current health crisis. | Notes: | Van Slambrouck, L (corresponding author), AZ Delta Hosp, Dept Qual Management, Deltalaan 1, B-8800 Roeselare, Belgium. louis.vanslambrouck@azdelta.be |
