“…COVID AMP captures policies issued from January 2020 to June 2022, whereas OxCGRT has longer temporal coverage through December 2022 and CoronaNet has more narrow coverage through October 2021. [13,14] Although OxCGRT and CoronaNet have broader global coverage (184 and 195 countries, respectively) extending to some subnational areas, the COVID AMP dataset captures data from 152 countries, 124 intermediate areas (i.e., states, provinces, etc. ), and 235 local areas (i.e., cities, countries, etc.…”

“…[9] Additional studies used COVID AMP to validate parameter assumptions for models about the timing of intervention implementation [10,11]. Others have used COVID AMP to analyse global differences in response strategies to the Omicron variant through specific focus on travel restrictions [8], access archived public health measures from governments, trace the progression of policy, and evaluate the role of institutions [12,13], and assess the benefits of mask-wearing at the county-level. [14] These studies highlight the ease of use of the database and suggest that significant future work could continue to make use of COVID AMP to ask new questions about the Covid-19 pandemic.…”

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in the spring of 2020, governments around the world began to implement policies to mitigate and manage the outbreak. Significant research efforts were deployed to track and analyse these policies in real-time to better inform the response. While much of the policy analysis focused narrowly on social distancing measures designed to slow the spread of disease, here, we present a dataset focused on capturing the breadth of policy types implemented by jurisdictions globally across the whole-of-government. COVID Analysis and Mapping of Policies (COVID AMP) includes nearly 50,000 policy measures across 152 countries, 124 intermediate areas, and 235 local areas between January 2020 and June 2022. With up to 40 structured and unstructured metadata fields per policy, as well as the original source and policy text, this dataset provides a uniquely broad capture of the governance strategies for pandemic response, serving as a critical data source for future work in legal epidemiology and political science.

“…However, knowledge does not always assume the primordial element in decisions in analyzing situations. Witkowski et al (2021), for example, state that findings from the content analyses of government policies, documents, and news reports indicate that some aspects of Florida's response were politically motivated, inflexible, and driven by a small circle of advisors, often ignoring expert opinions and the needs of uniquely vulnerable populations. Therefore, organizational performance may be conditioned by decision factors other than knowledge.…”

The emergence of a novel coronavirus at the end of 2019 generated a severe health crisis worldwide. In a few months, this virus called COVID-19 was present in several countries, being recognized by the WHO as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic was dramatic for the economy and society. In many economic sectors, companies were faced with the inoperability of their commercial activities. For example, in the healthcare sector, institutions were faced with unprecedented pressure, and this pandemic has exposed some weaknesses in the responses to environmental changes. As a result of this scenario, knowledge management and organizational intelligence become fundamental for hospitals to adapt to changes in the environment and respond effectively to new challenges. Considering this scenario, this research aims to analyze the influence of effective knowledge management, organizational intelligence, and organizational performance on the effective hospitals' response to COVID-19. Data were collected through research sent to physicians and nurses working in Brazil and Portugal hospitals.We sent the survey using a professional social network, and 248 valid responses were obtained. The PLS-SEM analysis technique was used to test hypotheses. The results showed a positive relationship between effective knowledge management, organizational intelligence, and organizational performance with the effective hospital's response to COVID-19. Additionally, the results suggest the need for managers to focus more on developing internal programs encouraging knowledge transfers among their employees.As practical implications, our research validates the relationships between effective knowledge management, organizational performance, effective hospitals' response to COVID-19, and the importance of effective knowledge management for pandemic management. In originality, this research provides hospitals and other healthcare organizations with a direction on key resources to which these organizations should turn their efforts to improve their effectiveness in responding to new disease outbreaks.
