Permanent Changes to Healthcare Because of COVID-19 – Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 34

For the 34th episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we’re talking about Permanent Changes to Healthcare Because of COVID-19.  Is anything in healthcare the same since COVID-19?  Ok, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the healthcare world has definitely been turned upside down thanks to COVID-19.  Regulations have been relaxed.  Reimbursements for things like telehealth have been increased.  Social distancing has required thousands of changes in healthcare.

In this episode, Colin Hung and John Lynn dive into some of the major changes that have hit healthcare.  We share whether we think those changes are going to be permanent or if they’re just temporary during the COVID-10 pandemic.  We also look at the various healthcare gaps and other damage to healthcare that COVID-19 has exposed.

Here’s a quick preview of the topics and questions we discuss on this episode:

  • What’s Changed Because of COVID-19? Is It Permanent?
  • Exposed Gaps & Damage in Healthcare Because of COVID-19
