COVID-19 undoubtedly has made impact on the lives of many U.S. citizens. It has also altered the healthcare environment as well. Price (2020) noted that COIVD-19 “brought unprecedented strain on hospitals and clinics, from a shortage of testing and medical supplies to issues in access among rural and underserved populations. The disease has put a spotlight on some of these inequities, while also revealing holes in the healthcare delivery system that can have lasting side effects on patients and providers” (para. 1).
Discuss 2 or 3 lasting impacts caused by COVID-19 on the healthcare delivery system and explain how leaders and organizations will need to adjust to the “long-term footprints” of COVID-19. In addition, independently deliberate how the Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke will regain trust among staff, future residents, and the community.
