Abstract
The research objective to examine the role of public resource desynchronization on business model sustainability in the private healthcare industry based on the application of a public policy. This study is based on recently reported data on bed occupancy rate and stakeholder insights during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the private healthcare industry in Spain. The findings reveal how desynchronization of a public health policy can undermine business model sustainability in the private healthcare sector. The role of public resource desynchronization in the private healthcare sector is linked to an applied public health policy, which affects the business model sustainability of private hospitals. Private hospitals need to be vigilant regarding the role of public policy on resource desynchronization in the healthcare industry, which can affect the sustainability of their business models. This study contributes to linking the role of resource desynchronization with the application of a public policy in the healthcare industry which can affect the sustainability of private hospitals’ business models.

Summary
The literature does offer sustainability research in the healthcare sector [1,2,3,4,5]. No previous studies have examined the role of resource desynchronization in business model unsustainability within the healthcare sector, such as private hospitals. A resource desynchronization that affects business model sustainability occurs when cooperation and coordination fail within and between healthcare sectors. The present study examines the role played by public policy in resource desynchronization and on its effect business model unsustainability in private hospitals. It provides a foundation for a complementary contribution to existing theory and previous studies. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is an area of research in which considerable additional knowledge may be generated, shedding additional light on resource desynchronization and business model unsustainability in the healthcare sector
