HC is weird right now. Some of us are crazy busy (*waves*) but a lot are sitting at home with nothing to do because their clinics are closed to all but telemedicine and the absolute essentials. And billing is obviously way down. We are projecting a super busy June and July, because even if this thing isn't under control by then, people aren't going to be able to hold off care for tooo long. So we're trying to use this downtime (for the non-busy) to work on infrastructure projects that we never have time to do. My practice is upgrading it's EMR with a go-live date of May 2021. We're doubling the implementation meetings for April and May because we know we're going to have a lopsided summer.
We aren't looking at layoffs, but some places are. Which is insane given that HC is the heart and soul of this thing.
