  abstract = {{I}n response to the disruptions caused by {COVID}-19, hospitals around the world proactively or reactively developed and/or re-organized their governance structures to manage the {COVID}-19 response. {H}ospitals' governance played a crucial role in their ability to reorganize and respond to the pressing needs of their staff. {W}e discuss and compare six hospital cases from four countries on different continents: {B}razil, {C}anada, {F}rance, and {J}apan. {O}ur study examined how governance strategies (e.g., special task forces, communications management tools, etc.) were perceived by hospital staff. {K}ey findings from a total of 177 qualitative interviews with diverse hospital stakeholders were analyzed using three categories drawn from the {E}uropean {O}bservatory on {H}ealth {S}ystems and {P}olicies framework on health systems resilience during the {COVID}-19 pandemic: 1) delivering a clear and timely {COVID}-19 response strategy; 2) coordinating effectively within (horizontally) and across (vertically) levels of decision-making; and 3) communicating clearly and transparently with the hospital's diverse stakeholders. {O}ur study gleaned rich accounts for these three categories, highlighting significant variations across settings. {T}hese variations were primarily determined by the hospitals' environment prior to the {COVID}-19 crisis, namely whether there already existed a culture of managerial openness (including spaces for social interactions among hospital staff) and whether preparedness planning and training had been routinely integrated into their activities.},
