“…To prevent COVID-19 transmission, twice daily routine disinfection was done 20. In Italy, personnel could remain in dirty areas for 6 hours, and personal protective equipment (PPE) was reused after disinfection due to a lack of equipment 26. To optimally safeguard medical staff in field hospitals, researchers installed innovations such as a pneumatic framework27 and modular airflow systems 28…”

“…Several methods addressed supply and resource shortages. PPE was reused with limitation up to four times and cleansed with alcohol-based disinfectants instead of using hypochlorite solutions 26. Logistics and medical support demanded partnerships with local government, the military and large hospital organisations 16…”

“…Several health points of view are parallel with field hospital development, such as the healthcare objectives (criteria for admission, triage, case definition), humanisation plan (information centre for patients and family), task flow definition, designated 'clean path' and 'dirty path' route, and PPE decontamination. 26 For example, the Bergamo Field Hospital in Italy used the technical zone partition of the emergency team as the core in hospital layout planning, which highlighted the mandatory pathways for healthcare workers and optimised PPE usage to minimise staff exposure. 41 Furthermore, waste management plans, human resource organisation, training programmes 42 and coordination with other structures such as rehabilitation, pharmacies and social work services 2 were equally important measures.…”

Strategies, challenges and opportunities in the implementation of COVID-19 field hospitals: a scoping review

et al. 2023

ObjectivesCOVID-19 has strained healthcare systems, requiring the redesign of their structure, human resource management and clinical approach. Countries have adopted implementation strategies and maximise field hospital functionality to address the issue of overflow of patients with COVID-19. This scoping review was based on the main research question, ‘What are the implementation strategies, challenges and opportunities in managing the field hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic?’, and aimed to consolidate all recent evidence on COVID-19 field hospital implementation approaches, challenges and potentialities.DesignScoping review, following the Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines.Data sourcesPubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were searched from 1 January 2020 through 31 December 2021.Eligibility criteriaOriginal articles, reviews, case studies and reports written in English were included. Works without full article and articles that did not answer the research questions were excluded.Data extraction and synthesisData were extracted using a standardised data extraction form in Microsoft Excel. The findings of all included articles were synthesised narratively.ResultsEighty-five records were reviewed and 25 studies were included. For the field hospital implementation strategies, ‘surge capacity’, namely space, human resource, supply and system, was discussed in addition to the preparation and workflow of other services such as pharmacy, rehabilitation, food and nutrition. The management of COVID-19 field hospitals is challenging with respect to staff and resource shortages, inability to anticipate patient load and poor communication. The opportunities and recommendations for improvement of management were also highlighted.ConclusionsThe compilation of lessons learnt may help improve the future management of field hospitals, administratively and clinically.

This study empirically explores the Quadruple Helix model’s potential in facilitating an urgent open innovation project. By examining the life cycle of the project, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in Brazil, it reveals complex interactions among government, academia, industry, and civil society stakeholders, while also shedding light on the various risks arising from their dynamic collaboration. Employing an approach that combines case study analysis, risk assessment, and theoretical framework development, we unravel the project’s evolution, highlighting pivotal elements such as trust, collaboration, communication, agile mindset, stakeholder partnerships, scale, and logistics. Additionally, the study underscores concerns related to finance, time, reputation, and health, which warrant consideration. Risk analysis uncovers internal and external risks and categorizes thirty-two risks, with one deemed unacceptable, thus revealing valuable insights into stakeholders’ partnerships, institutional image, public equipment, manufacturing, project management, human resources, intellectual property, regulation, and sanitation risks. Building on these findings, we develop a new framework illustrating the management of the urgent open innovation project through the fast-paced Quadruple Helix formation. By exploring stakeholder collaboration and risk management, this research provides insights into the adaptability and speed required to successfully execute an emergency project, as well as presenting practical strategies for risk management and mitigation, significantly contributing to the domains of the Quadruple Helix and project management research.

Influence of Media Framing on Cognition of COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness: The Mediating Role of Emotions

et al. 2022

Objectives: From the perspective of media framing, this paper explores how factual frame and influence frame affect the cognition of vaccine effectiveness among Chinese netizens, and how emotions vary in the process and act on the cognition. Methods: We first discuss the theoretical framework and propose hypotheses. Drawing on the cognitive theory of emotions and the Pleasure- Arousal-Dominance (PAD) model, the scale and questionnaire were designed, and used to test the influence of media framing over the cognition of vaccine effectiveness by 2-factor ANOVA and Bootstrap methods. Results: The proposed hypotheses were verified. The perceived effectiveness of domestic vaccines corresponding to the factual frame group was on average 0.19 (95% CI 0.641-0.642) higher than that of the influence frame. The impact on audience cognition from reports of positive tendency was on average 0.642 (95% CI 0.641-0.642) higher than that of negative tendency. The indirect effect of the media frame on the perceived effectiveness through the mediating variable emotion was -0.0923, at the 95% level. Conclusions: The audience can understand the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines better if the factual frame with actual data and authoritative opinions is adopted, rather than reports of the effects of the vaccines on the virus, the vaccinated, and society. Moreover, media reports should be more positive to mitigate the negative emotions, stimulate the arousal of public opinions, and improve audience cognition of report contents, thereby encouraging vaccine uptake.
