44th IHF World Hospital Congress 8-11 November 2021, Barcelona, Spain Strategies adopted by the Hospital Authority of Hong Kong in managing the COVID-19 Pandemic This session was hosted by the Hospital Authority, Hong Kong. Massive sudden COVID-19 surge is a key challenge faced by the Hospital Authority (HA). HA has adopted the strategic health systems’ integration approach to conserve capacity and resources to maintain emergency and essential clinical services in HA hospitals, whilst at the same time managing the demand surge of the outbreak through service diversion, service re-engineering, and the enhancement of patient support by electronics means. In addition, HA has setup the Community Treatment Facilities (CTF) using repurposed exhibition halls to be redesigned for healthcare settings so as to manage the COVID surge. In addition, The Hospital Authority Head Office Major Incident Control Centre (HOMICC) acts as a systems’ connection hub to expedite the patient allocation process via close collaboration among different stakeholders within HA and external parties. This session shared the HA overall strategy, challenges of using CTF and the importance of a systems’ connection hub during the pandemic.
