The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of contingency plans to cope with COVID-19 in Brazilian university hospitals. Comprehensive qualitative qualitative study with semi-structured interviews applied to managers and workers of 8 federal educational institutions who participated in the construction, implementation and evaluation of contingency plans to cope with COVID-19. The textual content of the interviews was submitted to the N-vivo software. Data analysis was performed using Bardin's content analysis, and as a theoretical basis Donabedian's theory evaluating the triad structure, process and result. The profile of the 17 participants of the research was mostly female (76%), 59% are nurses and 23% act as health care managers and 23% as superintendents within the EBSERH. In the structural dimension, the lack of inputs, such as PPE and medicines, directly interfered in the effectiveness of contingency plans. It evidenced the historical demands of health professionals regarding working conditions. The results found in the dimension, structure and result evidenced the weaknesses of some university hospitals to meet the potential demand generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study demonstrated the importance of planning, preparing and updating guiding documents for hospital institutions, such as the contingency plan, aimed at coping with a public health emergency, as well as the need for integration between management, care, teaching and research services.
