Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Research hypothesis:
Crisis management arrangements lack sensitivity to uncertainty, which manifests itself in lower quality of care and efficiency losses for the entire institution.
The virtuous practices implemented during the crisis spontaneously incorporated principles of the highly reliable organization.
The integration of principles from complexity theory into the management of institutions promotes high reliability organization.
Sustaining these virtuous practices in order to anticipate and cope with crises requires the activation of two interconnected levers: a shared vision (by patients, healthcare professionals, ARS, HAS, and the Ministry in the first place) of the meaning of the action taken by hospitals, and the development of a policy enabling hospitals to become both learning and highly reliable.
Main objective:
To evaluate the management process of the Covid-19 epidemic by the university hospitals of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and the structures linked to them (establishments in their territory, ARS, user associations), in terms of points of improvement and good practices. This evaluation concerns the preparation, management and exit phases of the crisis.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Professional qualitative group
Qualitative analysis of crisis management by interviewing professionals most involved during the crisis in each university hospital.
Qualitative analysis for professionals
3 individual interviews with the different categories of professionals most involved during the crisis in each university hospital. In the first phase, the points of improvement identified will be analyzed In the second phase, good practices and innovations will be analyzed. For these first two phases, the duration of one hour was chosen because it is difficult to mobilize the professionals for longer. Individual interviews are preferred, but group interviews are possible with no more than three people so that everyone can express himself or herself. Finally, individual interviews of 15 to 30 minutes will be conducted with some of the people interviewed previously in order to identify the costs of the dysfunctions or problems encountered during the crisis.
Questionnaires with establishments associated with the crisis management, the ARS AuRA and France Assos Santé AuRA.
Analysis of evidence documents in the university hospitals
Professional quantitative group
Quantitative analysis of crisis management using the WHO grid adapted sent to the target persons identified within the establishments
Quantitative analysis for Professionals
A self-assessment of the three phases of the crisis management process (preparation, crisis management, crisis recovery) will be carried out in the participating establishments using the WHO grid with the target persons identified within the establishments.
This step will use the crisis response assessment tool developed by the WHO following the H1N1 pandemic in 2011. This grid will be adapted beforehand to the COVID-19 situation and to the local organization by the study's scientific committee. The dimensions investigated will be : Command and control, Communication, Safety and security, Triage, Surge capacity, Continuity of essential services; Human resources, Logistics and supply management, Post-disaster recovery.
The grids will be sent to the 4 university hospitals to be filled in with the target audience recommended by the WHO methodological guide.
The results of this self-assessment will be linked to and interpreted with the results of the interviews in phase 1.
Patient quantitative group
Quantitative analysis of crisis management using a questionnaire sent to patients hospitalized in the first wave asking them about their perception of crisis and post-crisis management.
Quantitative analysis for Patients
A questionnaire of patients' perceptions on the same perimeter (crisis and post-crisis management, from the point of view of points of improvement and good practices) will be constructed and sent by the management of the establishments to all patients hospitalized for 48 hours or more during the first wave and who have left their email address (methods similar to the e-satis survey). The online questionnaire survey is preferred in order to get away from the emotion and for feasibility reasons. This patient experience questionnaire adapted to COVID will be co-constructed with expert/partner patients and user associations.
Four dimensions will be investigated : The perception of the quality of the information received by the patient, The nature of the information on the specific health protection protocol from which the patient benefited, The patient's consideration of the overall context, during and after, The effects of the health context on the overall management of the patient
Tools development
Development of tools to prepare for situations of uncertainty
Tools development
Development of tools to prepare for situations of uncertainty : In the third phase of the project, design thinking workshops will be organized (within the HCL) to develop training (in the form of simulation) in order to appropriate virtuous practices in situations of uncertainty. The purpose of these training sessions will be to improve the institution's ability to learn in a situation of uncertainty and thus to develop its reliability.
The aim of these workshops is to provide tools for raising awareness of situations of uncertainty to all hospital staff.
