| Abstract | The field of Resilience in Healthcare has developed to understand how healthcare systems adapt their operations before, during, and after events to sustain the essential functions and operations required for ensuring patient care. The recent coronavirus disease of 2019 has challenged healthcare systems worldwide, requiring great adaptability from managers and frontline professionals. This article describes, from the perspective of Resilience Engineering, how a large private hospital managed inpatient beds to face the challenges imposed by the pandemic of coronavirus disease of 2019. To do that, we systematically examine the actions implemented in a private hospital in light of a framework considering capacities for resilience in healthcare. Using the specific case of bed management, the response actions before the pandemic and during the pandemic period are analyzed. In addition, the article provides a discussion using the framework of healthcare resilience capacities recently proposed by Lyng and colleagues. Our goal was to understand the key capacities that support resilience in challenging situations, and how they manifest themselves during a crisis scenario in a developing country. |
