Abstract Background: Human resources management plays an important role in social development and economic growth. Absence from work due to health problems can make obstacles to the growth of economy. This study conducted aimed to evaluate the absenteeism in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This cross-sectional study calculated the lost productivity cost of absenteeism among patients with COVID-19 between February 19, 2020, and September 21, 2020. The absenteeism costs were calculated using the human capital approach. Finally, we applied the linear regression to assess the impact of variables on the lost productivity of absenteeism due to COVID-19 on health care workers.Results: The results of this study showed that there were 1958 patients with COVID-19 among the staff of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS) from February to September 2020. The absenteeism days in our study were 32,209 days. Total costs due to absenteeism were estimated to be nearly $1.3 million, with an average of $95.9 per patient in a month. The results of regression model showed that gender, age, employment type, job, experience and monthly income had a significant impact on the cost of absenteeism due to COVID-19.Conclusions: We calculated the absenteeism costs due to COVID-19 for the first time. Estimate costs and create evidence-based documentation can decrease the economic impacts of COVID-19 and improve human resources management during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Efficiency And Effectiveness

Health care has lagged behind most industries and businesses in its adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT). Many of the current information technologies and those to be deployed and developed over the next few years (e.g. electronic health records, telehealth applications, elearning technologies, social networking via Web 2.0) could be of benefit in health care delivery and improvement of the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of health care services. The uses of technology in human resources management (HRM) can help improve the medical care that health professionals provide to their patients. For instance, technology can be used to maximize communication, collaboration and support between health professionals separated by distance, as well as provide immediate and up-to-date patient care information. ICT can also be used for distance training and education for those facing geographic isolation and provide a medium through which continued education can be maintained for both rural and urban health professionals. However, due to the differences in barriers to ICT use found for each group, such as computer illiteracy, geographic isolation or poor infrastructure, different steps need to be taken in order to ensure the successful implementation and use of information technologies in both urban and rural communities in developed and developing regions across the world.
