Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative, multiple-case study was to describe the perspective and practices in healthcare management during COVID – 19 pandemic and to probe into the lived experiences of six identified healthcare managers, chosen through purposive sampling. The data collected through one-on-one interviews, observation, and field notes with the help of an interview guide were subject to thematic analysis. The research study’s findings revealed that healthcare management during the pandemic accounted for accountability in management, engagement in management solving, and demand management. The challenges and difficulties faced by healthcare managers include loss of income, manpower and staffing shortage, and overwhelming stress. Their coping mechanisms include strong administrative planning, workplace safety measures, and mental health awareness. The insights they shared about their experiences include strengthening administrative-related tasks, prevention is better than cure, and strengthening health awareness and education. The cross-case analysis showed that healthcare management throughout the crisis is recognized in all six cases. The challenges and difficulties are realized in five cases except for overwhelming stress since only four cases recognize it. For the coping mechanisms, only 2 cases recognize strong administrative planning, five admit workplace safety measures, and three appreciate mental health awareness. For the insights they shared, four cases identify strengthening administrative-related tasks and strengthening health awareness and education while two cases realize prevention is better than cure. Along with the realization of healthcare managers, the study emphasized the value of accountability in management, engagement in management solving, demand management, prevention is better than cure and strengthening health awareness and education, especially during a crisis.
