The study examines hospital management challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, transforming their lived experiences into a conceptual approach to prevent repetition and benefit health planners and policymakers in future crises and normal times.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This qualitative study utilized the grounded theory methodology, conducting in-depth interviews with 12 hospital administrators from seven major referral hospitals in Shiraz, Bushehr, and Tehran, focusing on COVID-19 patients\u2019 complex conditions.

Intervening conditions, strategies to overcome the challenges of hospital management, and the outcomes were identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Iranian hospital administrators dealing with COVID-19 recognize the lack of hospital resilience as their main management obstacle. Non-resilient hospitals\u2019 response to crises with new management strategies can fail due to insufficient documentation and information sharing, leading to persistent problems. Prioritizing evidence-based strategies and sharing successful approaches from other healthcare systems can improve resilience. Nationwide guidelines will ensure equitable patient treatment and reduce lawsuits against physicians for resource-efficient use. Hospital resilience implementation in real-world settings is widely sought for evidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/09514848241309285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]],"date-time":"2024-12-23T01:47:17Z","timestamp":1734918437000},"page":"164-172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Lack of hospital resilience as the main challenge of hospital management during the COVID-19 pandemic: A grounded theory study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4161-5146","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sulmaz","family":"Ghahramani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Research Center, Institute of Health, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamran","family":"Bagheri Lankarani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Research Center, Institute of Health, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammadreza","family":"Zakeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy Research Center, Institute of Health, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sahar","family":"Ghahramani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at the Ostrow School of Dentistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Payam","family":"Shojaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"How much the Iranian government spent on disasters in the last 100 years?
