“…[20] Using the reflexive thematic analysis six-phase approach, the text mining automated content analysis approach identifies predominant concepts and the co-occurrence between them. This augments the acquisition of text patterns and key terms, to reveal patterns that were previously unknown, and information with meaning [21] contained in the corpus of literature. This assists in automating and expediting completion of the first three phases of reflexive thematic analysis, as follows:…”

Background: Competencies have emerged as being important to develop health professionals, including managers in healthcare. Professional institutions adopted specific competency frameworks to guide designing professional development opportunities for health service managers, in particularly managers working in the area of health informatics. The fast-growing nature of healthcare settings means that the required competencies continue to evolve. Objective: The aim of this protocol is to outline a reflexive thematic analysis process, including using an automated content analysis approach, and identify what is missing in existing health service management competency empirical studies in relation to health informatics competencies. Methods: A rapid literature review has been performed using a PRISMA approach for eligibility screening, with 185 publications meeting the inclusion criteria. The Leximancer natural language processing software was used to transform a large corpus of literature from natural language into semantic themes and concepts. A reflexive thematic analysis was then undertaken using the text mining automated content analysis approach to identify predominant concepts and the co-occurrence between them. Results: A search strategy was developed using three primary electronic databases: 1) Scopus; 2) ProQuest; and 3) the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL); and five secondary electronic databases: 1) Web of Science 2) PubMed; 3) ACM Digital Library; 4) Open Access Theses and Dissertations Database, and 5) Google Scholar. The initial search undertaken on 10 November 2020 resulted in 1,212 publications. The results of the reflexive thematic analysis will be submitted for publication by November 2021. Conclusions: New understanding and knowledge in the area of health management competencies, specifically relating to informatics will be developed. Health informatics competencies will be defined for Australian health service managers. Further, this study helps inform the discourse regarding automated content analysis for the healthcare and informatics industry, healthcare organisations and university course requirements.

“…Further, the legitimacy and validity of the researcher's subjectivity are not just acknowledged, but it is also an intrinsic asset, as reflexive thematic analysis supports the active role of the researcher in the knowledge generation process [47]. Using the 6-phase reflexive thematic analysis approach as detailed in Textbox 1 augments the acquisition of text patterns and key terms to reveal patterns that were previously unknown and furnish information with meaning [49].…”

Background Globally, the health care system is experiencing a period of rapid and radical change. In response, innovative service models have been adopted for the delivery of high-quality care that require a health workforce with skills to support transformation and new ways of working. Objective The aim of this research protocol is to describe research that will contribute to developing the capability of health service managers in the digital health era and enabling digital transformation within the Australian health care environment. It also explains the process of preparing and finalizing the research design and methodologies by seeking answers to the following three research questions: (1) To what extent can the existing health service management and digital health competency frameworks guide the development of competence for health service managers in understanding and managing in the digital health space? (2) What are the competencies that are necessary for health service managers to acquire in order to effectively work with and manage in the digital health context? (3) What are the key factors that enable and inhibit health service managers to develop and demonstrate digital health competence in the workplace? Methods The study has adopted a qualitative approach, guided by the empirically validated management competency identification process, using four steps: (1) health management and digital health competency mapping, (2) scoping review of literature and policy analysis, (3) focus group discussions with health service managers, and (4) semistructured interviews with digital health leaders. The first 2 steps were to confirm the need for updating the current health service management curriculum to address changing competency requirements of health service managers in the digital health context. Results Two initial steps have been completed confirming the significance of the study and study design. Step 1, competency mapping, found that nearly half of the digital competencies were only partially or not addressed at all by the health management competency framework. The scoping review articulated the competencies health service managers need to effectively demonstrate digital health competence in the workplace. The findings effectively support the importance of the current research and also the appropriateness of the proposed steps 3 and 4 in answering the research questions and achieving the research aim. Conclusions This study will provide insights into the health service management workforce performance and development needs for digital health and inform credentialing and professional development requirements. This will guide health service managers in leading and managing the adoption and implementation of digital health as a contemporary tool for health care delivery. The study will develop an in-depth understanding of Australian health service managers’ experiences and views. This research process could be applied in other contexts, noting that the results need contextualization to individual country jurisdictions and environments.

“…In the following sections, we begin by identifying key themes that were prevalent in emergent work in the onset of COVID-19. Although it is beyond the scope of the present article to provide an overview of key themes in health care management more generally, three recent reviews of the field offer useful insights in this regard ( Mayo et al, 2021 ; Reay et al, 2021 ; Zengul et al, 2022 ). We conclude by emphasizing the need for more empirical work to move beyond COVID-19-specific strategies and help guide the formulation of a research agenda to meet our most pressing challenges for the future.…”

Background: The challenges brought on by the pandemic triggered a renewed scholarly focus on managing during crises. Now, 3 years on, having covered the initial crisis response, it is important to reevaluate what the crisis has taught us about health care management more generally. In particular, it is useful to consider the persistent challenges that continue to face health care organizations in the wake of a crisis. Purpose: The present article aims to identify the biggest challenges that currently face health care managers in order to formulate a postcrisis research agenda. Methodology/Approach: We employ an exploratory qualitative study, utilizing in-depth interviews with hospital executives and management to explore the persistent challenges facing managers in practice. Results: Our qualitative inquiry reveals three key challenges that extend beyond the crisis and are salient for health care managers and organizations in the years to come. Specifically, we identify the centrality of human resource constraints (amidst increasing demand), the necessity of collaboration (amidst competition), and a need to reconsider the approach to leadership (utility of humility). Conclusion:We conclude by drawing upon relevant theories such as paradox theory to formulate a research agenda for health care management scholars that can support the creation of novel solutions and approaches to persistent challenges in practice. Practice Implications: We identify several implications for organizations and health systems, including the need to eliminate competition and the importance of building human resource management capacities within organizations. In highlighting areas for future research, we provide organizations and managers with useful and actionable insights to address their most persistent challenges in practice.
