Innovations in Public Health Management as Response to the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Literature Review
Abstract
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed profound challenges in global public health management systems, spurring the need for innovations to improve the effectiveness and resilience of the health sector. These innovations not only help in dealing with the surge in cases and reduce the risk of transmission, but also improve operational efficiency and quality of health services. This article explores various innovations in public health management implemented in response to the impact of the pandemic, focusing on three main aspects: digitization of healthcare services, changes in health policies, and development of risk management models.
Research Methods: Through the analysis of literature review, this research shows how the adoption of telemedicine technology, integration of health information as well as evidence-based policy adjustments have helped countries deal with the unprecedented health crisis.
Finding/Results: The findings from this article suggest that these innovations not only improved the response to the pandemic but also have the potential to strengthen health systems in the future. The study concludes with recommendations for the continued development and adaptation of public health management models in the face of evolving global health challenges by understanding how to apply innovation effectively to be better prepared to face global health challenges in the future.
