The United States health care system, like systems everywhere, faces profound challenges and transformation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitals overrun with seriously ill patients; elective surgeries and other key services stopped temporarily; and health care workers exposed to danger from the illness. Physician offices closed or moving to telehealth. Long-term care facilities facing worker shortages and having to close themselves off to patients’ families. Patients not getting needed care. This Management in Medicine seminar will examine how these care delivery organisations, their personnel, and patients are affected by the current pandemic, with lasting implications for what health care will look like in the future.
The speaker will identify and analyze several of these implications, and the policy responses potentially required to deal with them. He will also discuss the opportunities for further disruptive innovation in the health care sector caused by a weakening of traditional institutional structures in health care.
