Background/Objectives The research rationale is that many economic, policy, and government implications result from the COVID-19 pandemic. Author published a literature review on COVID-19 research specific to Australia including policy and media releases. This Australian scientific literature assessed the social impact, government, and policy implications. This manuscript expands on previous research by assessing global pandemic policy specifically in relation to workplace health management, health services and systems. Methods A search strategy was created using the MeSH Browser. The MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the NLM controlled vocabulary thesaurus used for indexing articles for PubMed and is at; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh. (((((("SARS-CoV-2"[Mesh])) OR "COVID-19"[Mesh]) OR "Coronavirus"[Mesh]) AND "Policy"[Mesh]). The following individual text words were added to the search string – ‘health services’; - ‘workforce’; - ‘health systems’ in order to quantify the extent of literature pertaining to workplace health management. Results The PubMed Mesh search performed retrieved 2934 articles. Adding individual text words resulted in the following retrievals; health services - 926 retrievals, workforce – 74 retrievals, health systems – 414 retrievals. Conclusions The impact of a pandemic upon workforce services is immense. It relates to variations as a result of shutdowns and adapted essential service provisions. This results in reduced screening or current testing strategies, changes to other routine procedures/services, immunizations/vaccinations and/or reduced treatment for patients with pre-existing diseases. A rapid shift in service delivery with increased usage of digital technologies & e- health in particular in high-income countries is evident, with low and middle-income countries somewhat compromised by poorer infrastructure.

“… 8 9 13 However, a comparison between immediate and long-term effects has been reviewed, although on specific populations, such as patients with substance use disorders. 14 Thus, although existing, to our knowledge, no study has addressed the specific and recurrent cognitive symptoms beyond 6 months after infection.…”

IntroductionThe novel and expanding field of long COVID research has undergone diverse methodological approaches in recent years. This protocol lays out the methodological approach, which aims at identifying nuances in current research. It underscores the necessity for a more precise understanding of prolonged cognitive sequelae and their relation to initial disease severity. The findings will add valuable insights for the development of targeted rehabilitation, healthcare interventions and thereby aid patients, clinicians, policymakers and researchers. Our upcoming research is introduced here.Methods and analysisTo map current research in the field, a scoping review will be conducted and documented in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Review Extension standards. A systematic search of scientific databases (PubMed, EMBASE), presented 1409 eligible results, published up to 21 December 2023. After removal of duplicates, 925 articles were extracted for screening. Two independent reviewers will screen for titles, abstracts and full texts, to extract data, which will then be organised using charting software. Data for various variables, that is, journal info, studied population demographics, study design, long COVID related data, cognitive outcomes and neuropsychological tests will be gathered. Descriptive analyses, evidence gap maps, heat map quantifications and narrative synthesis will be conducted for reporting of results.This scoping review has been registered with the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/JHFX6).Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required, as the study does not involve human participants. The findings will be disseminated through a publication in a scientific journal and within the professional network.
